Insano Brazil Beach Park Brazil
The Insano slide is a wild ride at the beachin Porto das Dunas, Brazil. It’s 41 meters high and you’ll slide down a nearly vertical drop into a pool below. The slide opened in 1989 and it was the tallest water slide in the world at the time. But it’s not for the faint of heart! The employees at the water park say they like watching people panic at the top of the slide, and they’ve even seen people cry.

The ride is only 5 seconds long, but it’s so steep that some people lose contact with the slide and go flying during the drop. Because it’s so dangerous, they have to show you how to ride it. You have to lie on your back with your arms and legs crossed. The slide is really high and it gives you a great view of the ocean at the top. But it’s not the tallest slide in the world anymore. It’s still the fastest though. You can go as fast as 65 miles per hour!

The Steamer Slide At Calypso Water Park Ontario
The Calypso Water Park in Ontario has a slide called the Steamer that is really dangerous. It’s a tube slide that goes through a dark tunnel and then spins around a bowl. In 2015, the park was facing 20 separate charges from people who were hurt on the slide.

When they looked into it, they found out that the Steamer slide had a buckle in it. This made the tubes flip over and hurt people. The Technical Standards and Safety Act said the park was not being careful and did not have the right equipment to keep people safe. The park lost six of the charges and had to pay $500,000 in damages. This shows how bad the Steamer slide is.

Verruckt was a cool waterslide, but it was also very dangerous. It didn’t have the right safety equipment and a boy died on it. The slide was shut down because of this.

Some of the employees were injured during the test runs. Mulvihill also sent a dummy down the slide, which emerged from the slide without its head. Despite these warning signs, the park opened the Cannonball Loop to the public. However, it was shut down after only one month due to its extreme danger.
