Coming out of one of those type slides in that manner is fairly common. There is a water park in Panama City Beach, Fl called “Shipwreck Island” that I have visited and they have a similar looking slide called the “Treetop Drop”, and I damn near did the same thing as that guy when I came out of the tube. Bad thing is, you can’t see where you’re going or what’s happening as water is literally splashing in your face, making it impossible to see, and barely able to breathe.

I didn’t know I had gotten airborne until I felt that I had left the surface of the slide, and then the impact landing halfway down the second “bump”. I’m no lightweight at 194 lbs and I still “flew” down it like that guy did.

I’m surprised that no one has flown off of one of these slides sideways or has landed wrong and gotten hurt in the process yet.
