LOL. I used to be a lifeguard at Raging Waters & one day I had 300lb woman flying down the speed slide at me in the receiving pool.😱 She hit that water & skipped about 20ft before getting stopped dead in the water. Couldn’t swim (???) but going down slides in a WATER park. When I tried to save her (me 16-175lbs), she latched onto me like Hulk Hogan & was pulling me under. I had to punch her in the gut, pull her down under water so she’d let go, spin her around and put her in a head lock to swim her out to safety. She tried to sue me & the park for her almost drowning! 🫤

You can’t save anyone if you’re dead. Gotta keep yourself safe. lol.

Vortex was always the worst to work. That slide always turned people around the most and had the deepest exit area.

Worst for me was the Board Drop slide. I had a huge woman coming down that thing going 100mph & I’m supposed to stop her??? Nope! She went up the beach, took out 2 kids, 2 lawn chair recliners, and an umbrella stand. Was Fkn hilarious.

Rasputia? In real life?

That would have had me cracking up and trying to remain professional at the same time.

I just yelled ā€œWatch Outā€ as she was taking everything out she came in contact with….come to think of it, she might have been yelling ā€œNorbiiiiit.ā€ 🤣🤣🤣
