The Physics Behind Waterslides

theodp writes "National Geographic takes a high-level look at the physics behind waterslides. A lot of science goes into providing a safe 60 mph trip down slides like Walt Disney World's 10-story Summit Plummet. 'Safety is our number one concern,' explains Rick Hunter of ProSlide Technology. 'We're thinking about things like, "are you going to stay on the fiberglass tube," it's really easy to do a computer model and look at curves and drops and forecast rider position and speed.'"

I had sex on a waterslide once

[magic maverick]

Sex on waterslides is not recomneded. Though if you can time the climax for when you are in the air at the bottom of the 'slide ...
If you want to give it a go, fuck a bit before you get on the 'slide, and then continue on it.

I've got nothing further to contribute. Cheers.
