Watch: This giant slide in Detroit was closed down shortly after opening because it sent people hurtling to their doom
· Aug 26, 2022 · NottheBee.com

Only four hours after opening, the Giant Slide in Michigan's Belle Isle Park closed because it drops people so fast, every bump in the slide is like a motorcycle ramp into the sky. Add to that a hot metal surface and a burlap bag, and these folks going down the slide look like flap jacks on a hot griddle.

Watching the kids though. Ouch!

Who could have possibly thought this was a good idea?

But don't worry; the slide is back open now with some wax to help slow riders' descent, and some safety instruction about how to ride.

Still looks pretty painful to me.
