:lol :lol :lol That gave me an idea for next summer!!!!
That also reminded me of a day many years ago while still in Bunnell, FL
Me, Deb and a few friends decided on a HOT Florida weekend that we'd build us a long azz slip-n-slide. Bought a roll of heavy visqueen (sp?), ran the garden hose and was having some fun. Me....being, ME....I decided it was not fast enough (remember, FL is flat). I went inside and grabbed the box of Tide, came back out and sprinkled it all down the length of "runway"
Now, picture me backing way the he!! up and running as fast as I can, belly flopping onto the Tide soaked plastic. I hit with enough force to knock the wind out of me. Guess what happened next? As you would expect, I'm sliding down this plastic with the wind knocked outta me and naturally I try to INHALE. What I got was a lung full of TIDE water.
Needless to say, I was gasping for air for what seemed like an eternity (prolly a minute in reality), Debs freaking out thinking I'm dying, my buddies standing there laughing hysterically and me still gasping and laughing at the same time. The sound was a cross between a wheezy Rhino and an asthmatic Hyena.
Deb runs in and calls the poison hotline where she's trying to explain what happened and wanting to know what to do. They find it strange that a person would ingest Tide and can't comprehend what she's talking about. My bud finally looks at her and says "as long as he's making that squealing sound, he's getting air" (said while still laughing).
After a few minutes my lungs clear and I say I'm ready to try it again. Thankfully Deb put a stop to the endeavor and I'm alive today to tell the story.
Forgot to mention, this happened within a few months of Deb & I getting married. She's been putting up with stupid shart ever since :ecit

Well that explains a lot!
As for the original video...did anyone notice the dummy at the beginning? I wonder if they used him to set the location for the wading pool. Man...I wouldn't do that for anything in the world! No siree! I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid!

I'm going out on a limb here, but I'd bet that video is not real :ep

Mark, you reminded me of when I was a kid and me and my siblings would soap down our smooth green patio and make our own slip & slide. Man, I can't imagine how we didn't get seriously hurt doing that!
I still hear the stories from my older siblings about how they "rode the dumpsters" and ran around under the streets of Burbank at night.

Flapping them actually increases the speed.
