      I used to work on one in France in my home village of Châtel as a teen 14 years ago and it's still open. The slides are metal instead of concrete though.
      I spent almost 8 years working on ski lifts and different summer rides similar to this one (kart, bikes, etc...) I don't think this is more dangerous than any other mountain rides or sport, we didn't have that many accident and when we had them it was usually not that bad, just scratches and burns.
      We've had way more serious injuries or even deaths with 'regular' activities such as ski or mountain bike.

      It happened to me. I broke the track record but I left a good part of my right thigh up there in the process. It was nearly the entire site of my right thigh. After the adrenaline rush it hurt, omg did it hurt whenever I tried to fully extend my leg. So I didn't. So my RN mom told me if you don't fully straighten out that leg it's going to get worst. I tried but it just hurt too much cause of the new skin. Over a week and my leg was actually retracting. So one day in the pool I held myself under water and straightened out that leg completely. Most people never felt this kind of physical pain due it being about 60% healed. All that new skin being ripped open. And keeping the leg completely straight for the next few weeks was hell. I learned a very good lesson that day which was to never wear shorts on those slides.

    I feel that if the slide was bigger and had higher walls, and the slide vehicle was bigger too, there would be a lot less crashes as it would be impossible to be launched out of the slide. Also people could go faster as they are in a more tight slide. That being said, another thing to come with that is the rule of one person sliding at a time, or else any possible crashes could be deadly

    • @joestr
      @joestr  2 года назад +33

      They send people down the slide like every 15 seconds. If you want to go fast, you have to ask the attendant for more time or you catch up to the person infront of you almost immediately.

    • @Adam-vj7dn
      @Adam-vj7dn 2 года назад +13

      Cost is one factor, higher wall means more material more labor more maintenance. The other is if you build the walls higher it just means a greater maximum speed can be achieved before being thrown over. The accidents might be more rare, but they would also be more serious when they do happen. Having a short height wall prevents anyone from gaining to much speed and minimizes the extent of injuries while maximizing profits.

    Fantastic run! It looks like you were wall-climbing on the inside corner here (0:33) and that caught the rear right wheel and flipped the cart; was there something on the track? Did you pump the brakes in the turn? Seems like you should have been just coming out of a graceful arc on the outside wall instead of flipping. I ask this so that I have pre-course feel when we line up opposite each other for championship! :)

    We had one of these at Mount Hood in Oregon. In the early 90's my cousin and myself went to ride the alpine slide. We were both dirt bike riders. So, we raced each other all the time. We bought a 10 pack of ticket to ride the slide. After the 2nd ride I noticed if you moved up as far as you could to the brake you would go faster. On the 4th run I told my cousin to move up as far as you can on the sled. He went first. I was hauling ass. I was almost flying off the corners. Then out of nowhere is my cousin standing in the track. He crashed and was trying to get his sled back on the track. I slammed into him at a real high speed. Sent him flying. I told him to get on his sled fast before we get hit by the next rider. He had so much road rash. He was tore up. We never did go back.

    About 20 years ago I crashed on this same ride. I'd taken a bunch of runs already with my kids and my daughter and I were going for our last run. She was young and getting tired so I carried her sled for her and when we got back to the start I made the mistake of giving her my sled, not knowing the brakes on hers weren't nearly as good as mine. I was blasting down the hill and hit the brake at the same spot coming into a slow zone, only to find out I didn't have a chance of slowing like I needed to. I got pitched onto my left side, still hanging onto the sled, and let me tell you, polished concrete can give you some serious road rash! I still have the burn scars and lack of pigment on my leg. Shorts are a bad idea on this beast if you want to go fast!

    Oh my god this brings back memories... I went on this thing like, 10 years ago as a kid and the (older) kid in front of me wouldn't stop telling me the story about how he skinned his elbow going down this thing. Good times, glad to see someone captured this before all the corporate kerfuffle took place :)

    This looks insanely dangerous. Is it?

      No its safe. There is a big brake handle you can pull inbetween your legs at any time. Many kids and older people ride it.

    I rode this slide soon after it opened with my parents (and again more recently with my kids). When my dad wiped out making the same mistake, it tore some skin off and he was bleeding. If you escaped without that happening you were very fortunate.

    If a man talks after a crash with a highly pitched euphoric voice you know he took critical damage.
