Things get hot during the summer, so of course people are going want to have some fun on water slides. Most kids have fond memories of heading to the water park and taking the slides all day long. But anyone who’s ever spent considerable amounts of time on water slides will tell you that eventually you try hot dogging–going head first, going in tandems, etc. It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt.
Speaking of injuries, that’s exactly what happens when people start getting creative and creating their own water slides. Just because you have a big hill, a kiddie pool to land in, some tarp and some soap doesn’t mean you should create a 30-foot death trap.
