Upside-Down Water Slide

Germany has invented and upside-down water slide. Wow.

I can handle the upside-down-ness, I can dig it. But that drop, I don't know about that business. The floor dropping out from under you... I don't know, that kinda scares the poo out of me, it's like they're flushing you down the toilet in an airplane lavatory. You're in a tiny little box and can barely move, there's water in the bottom and when you hit a button it dumps you out into oblivion. And what if the person doing the countdown doesn't go on, "drei?" I can picture it, they're back their giggling as you step into the little box. "You ready? Ok, eins, zwei... oh damn, I hit the button early," and they whole way down you're thinking, "you sonuvabitch, you were supposed to go on drei!"

But when it comes right down to it, if I had the chance to go on an upside-down water slide, would I do it? Heck yeah I would. Is America ready for this concept? Oh Hell no, that's a lawsuit waiting to happen. Class Action.
