a queer oz in brazil the 41 meter high slide sends its sliders down a near-vertical drop and into an exit pool below the slide opened in 1989 and when it did it was the tallest waterslide in the world the slide is not for the faint of heart though in fact employees at the waterpark say that they enjoy watching the sliders panic at the top of the slide and that they have even seen sliders cry while sliding the ride is only five seconds long but because it is so steep some sliders lose contact with the slide and actually become airborne during the drop because the slide is so dangerous sliders are instructed on how to ride the slide they must remain on their backs with their arms and legs crossed the slide which gives a great view of the Atlantic Ocean at the top is no longer the tallest slide in the world but it remains the fastest as sliders can reach speeds of a heart-pounding 65 miles per hour number nine the aqua loop at wet-and-wild Gold Coast Australia the aqua loop is a near-vertical water slide that sends its riders down a ten meter drop and into an inclined pool during the seven second slide riders can reach a speed of 60 km/h and can experience a g-force of 2.5 the slide which was designed by whitewater West aqua Rina relies on sliders achieving enough speed to make it around the loop however and not all sliders do a woman sued the park for $400,000 when she got stuck on the slide she was unable to make the loop and found herself stuck at the bottom of the loop she pulled herself out through an escape hatch but she experienced several injuries nonetheless the aqua loop continues to be a popular I'll be a dangerous slide at wet and wild in fact the park itself is the busiest waterpark in Australia and the eighth busiest waterpark in the world thousands

first waterpark wet and wild Orlando is owned by NBC Universal and was founded by the creator of SeaWorld George Millay the menacing black tubes of the black hole look ominous and rightfully so the black hole has faced numerous lawsuits over the years including a 1.73 million dollar payout to a man who was severely injured in 1994 when he struck something during the ride part of the danger of the slide stems from the timing of the ride it takes a two-person tube 23 seconds to complete the ride however the staff is told to send people down at 20 second intervals this does not leave enough time for people to safely exit the ride before the next riders are sent down making it a dangerous sliding experience [Music] number seven the steamer slide had clips a waterpark Ontario the steamer slide at Calypso water park Ontario is a dangerous tube slide that has repeatedly injured its riders in fact in 2015 Calypso waterpark was facing 20 separate charges from injured people riders of the steamer slide sit on a tube slide through a dark tunnel and then spin around a bowl however when the slide was investigated it was discovered that the steamer slide had developed a buckle in an area of the slide that was causing the tubes to flip over the technical standards and Safety Act which oversees Ontario's amusement park rides accused the park of negligence and of not having the proper equipment to ensure the safety of its riders and although some of the charges were dismissed the park was found guilty on six accounts resulting in a payout of $500,000 in damages the sheer volume of injuries attests to the dangerous nature of the steamer slide number six the vertigo slide Aqualand II a waterpark Spain the vertigo slide in Spain's Aqualand iya waterpark is the highest waterslide

released and sliders are plunged down a three-second slide where they can reach speeds of 100 km/h the ride itself and the speed the riders experience is dangerous however the trapdoor presents its own dangers in July 2014 the trapdoor failed to fully open and a man was severely injured when he was sent through the partially opened trapdoor the man and his injuries were attended to by park staff but the slide was reopened a mere 10 minutes after the incident needless to say this dangerous slide made headlines in the news as a result number 5 cannonball Falls action park New Jersey the actual cannonball Falls waterslide itself is not that dangerous but at the end of the slide sliders are sent on a 10-foot drop into the pool below the fall of cannonball Falls has resulted in countless

world to have full loop-de-loop and was the first upside-down looping body slide although it is not the fastest slide around sliders do reach a speed of 30 miles per hour while on the 400 foot long slide they also wait in a coffin like chamber at the start of the slide for the floor to fall out from under them and when they do get to the loop they are 27 feet in the air the Scorpions tail cost 1 million dollars us to fill and despite its dangers and remains a crowd favorite amongst waterslide enthusiasts number three the leap of faith Atlantis waterpark Bahamas the leap of faith is a

inside a clear acrylic tunnel are sent whizzing through the lagoon where sharks approach the tube some sharks are literally only inches away the Sharks which are hammerhead and Caribbean reef sharks swim freely in the lagoon as sliders swiftly slide past praying that nothing goes wrong with acrylic tubing number two the Virage Schlitterbahn waterpark Kansas City the Virage which is German for crazy or insane was destined for fame when it opened on July 10 2014 it was the tallest waterslide in the world at the time the Veyron at 168 feet cost a staggering 3.6 million dollars to build and although it did achieve fame as the tallest waterslide in the world it also achieved infamy as an accident on the slide led to the criminal arrest of the park owner a ten-year-old boy was killed on the slide when his raft went airborne investigations pointed to a number of unsafe aspects on the slide the nets surrounding the slide were deemed unsafe the restraints on the raft were deemed unsafe

drop is one of the most dangerous water slides on this list action park is also home to the most dangerous water slide ever built one look at the insane cannonball loop and you can see why this waterslide could pose several safety issues cannonball loop which was an enclosed waterslide with a complete vertical loop at the end has a set of disturbing stories surrounding it before the slide was officially opened the owner of the park reportedly offered to pay employees $100 to try out the slide the employees suffered nosebleeds and numerous injuries while sliding furthermore when the park owner sent a dummy down the slide the dummy apparently came out the other side without its head however despite these massive red flags the slide was still opened shortly after its opening though a woman got stuck at the top of the loop forcing the park to install an escape hatch should it happen again needless to say the Cannonball Luke didn't last long it was shut down by the advisory board
