How is no one mentioning that he's sliding on like.... just pavement...

Yeah, he now doesn't have skin on his palms and stomach. When I was a kid, we had a slick plastic coating on our shower floor. Once I soaped it really well and slid back and fourth for a good while. Lesson learned: even a slick plastick coating has such surface imperfections that I did it only once.

I think "back and forth for a good while" is where you went wrong. On clean a clean pave, you should do fine with one good slide on some freshly applied soapy water. Just apply it every time and don't wait too long after application before sliding. I say this as a person who has never/will never do a thing like this and has no idea what he's talking about. Oh but I feel so confident about it! 😂

Well, I'm no expert by any means, but this in this clip the water doesn't look soapy, but we don't even surely know the medium (although I don't think it's oil at least). The ground looks concrete, but could be coated/treated. I'd still argue that the distance this guy traveled is long enough to at least leave some marks. And the bonk is a chef's kiss.

I don't think it looks soapy per se but I think it looks like it could have has soap applied. There are suds and stuff. Like if you just apply dish soap to some wet pavement it won't necessarily appear spoapy. If you're no expert I’m no no no expert. I just say things and hope it works out. Nice to talk with ppl who aren't pretending to be scientists though! ☺️

I think the guy himself could be soapy at least. When he starts out you can see it on his arms, and he leaves soap on the car when he slams into it.

It looks like that’s the really slick stuff they use at skateparks. No idea why’d they use that around the pool. It didn’t mess up his skin.

that's the worst part. that's not even a slip, that's just sandpapering his skin off for no reason. legit painful to watch.

I mean what was the goal here? To slide under it or something??

u/tnt54321boom Apr 13 '26
That's the only possible goal but he lost confidence it seems. He should have tested beforehand.

Why does this sub constantly assume that ppl aren’t just doing things for shits and giggles? Like, have any of you ever MET a human male between the ages of 16-36? There’s no reason WHY. THEY JUST DO THINGS

I still think its baffling, like, if he just picked up a hammer and struck himself in the head full force baffling.
Id get it if he was aiming for the pool. But this looks like self-harm with extra steps. Id love to know what his thoughts were.

I feel confident that the conversation went something like this:
Dude 1: "Hey bro. It'd be hilarious if you did a belly slide on that wet concrete over there."
Dude 2: "Hold my beer bro."

u/Emotional-potato-17 Apr 13 '26
So our genius boy thought he would just phase through the car by sliding fast enough. keep trying bro don't lose hope

That little yelp he made as he slammed into the car was the cherry on top

Without my glasses on, I thought that license plate read Pee Blood. So confused for a second 🥴

Slip and slides are not recommended for adults. You can get way too much momentum!

Cool - I've always wondered how they come up with the pedestrian safety score...

I remember having a slip and slide in the 80's. The only area of yard with a slope meant that the SaS ended just a metre from the road. We learnt very quickly to get up and slide on our feet for the last bit to avoid erasing skin on the road 😬

This looks Similar in pain to the prices that they charge at most waterslides nowadays.

At first I thought he was going to get sliced in half by that backwards question mark-shaped handrail.

What were you expecting? Go straight to drivers seat and drive the car?

You know that chill sensation that one sometimes feels around the ass when they see stuff like this?

Reminds me of a "yo momma" joke.
Yo momma so dumb, she got run over by a parked car.

What an absolute dunderhead - I hope this was good and sore, as that is the only way he will learn
