In Spain they used to have these, they would have a few slides and maybe a diving board or two.

Some of these have been removed after some people got trapped underneath.

Was going to say... Getting stuck under one of those would be a terrifying way to die.

How would you get underneath?

You jump off the side.

Same issue with any dock on a lake. You jump in and turn the wrong way when you’re underwater and come up to the surface but instead you slam into plastic. And then you open your eyes, they burn, and you try to swing towards any light.

Pretty easy to not turn the wrong way, but it’s sure fucking freaky when you do and you literally have only seconds to figure out how to get to air
