POV of World's Tallest water slide

I am glad someone else mentioned it but look how tall the sides are! Surely that isn't tall enough especially with that dip and then it going up again? What if you got some air? :o

I'm sure some pretty clued up mathematicians and physics experts have given it the go ahead.

It's all about G Forces and resistance. The bump is pretty damn high and the amount of speed you'd have lost due to the water resistance at the bottom should easily be enough to slow down people so they don't 'jump out' at the peak. Even if you did you'd be going in straight line so just land back in it anyway.

I would bet the more likely 'problem' is people not gaining enough speed to complete the bump and sliding back down again (hence no one will be allowed to go until the last person has exited the slide).
 
Looks awesome!..

I went on a pretty damned tall one in Turkey once.. Didnt look safe at all and for whatever reason I decided lift my ankles/legs up as I was going down. It forced all the air to go under me and lifted me clean out of the tube for what felt like an eternity.

The water was a bit browner after that.
