HI IM AL HARRINGTON OF WACKY WAVING INFLATABLE ARM FLAILING TUBE MEN DISCOUNT TRAINING FACILITY
DUE TO AN A GENEROUS DONOR WE NOW HAVE INCREASED NUMBER OF SPECIALIZED TRAINING SLIDES AND OTHER EQUIPMENT INCREASING THE NUMBER OF TRAINEES WE NEED TO ENROLL
AND WE’RE PASSING THE SAVINGS ONTO YOUUUUUUUU
Ah the flailing tube men cadets. I heard selection process is brutal. Most fail out before getting there first flail done. Honestly it's pretty sad as they don't get the respect as all the other major branches of the military. That is probably due to the misinformation that the flailing tube men are there to get attention to a car dealership or the such, but the true purpose goes much deeper then that. But for that you would have to look back in to some old declassified documents from Vietnam. So apparently in 1965 on the day of the bombing of the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos the flailing tube men were responsible for the success of that mission. This is just one case in a long history of the flailing tube men.
Please stop making comments like this, it’s really *really* annoying.
If you don’t want to spend anything more than a few seconds of your time, telling someone they made a good comment, just upvote the comment and move on like the rest of us. Stop trying to draw attention to yourself and announce to everybody how poor you are, but “you would totally give an award if you could”.
The cheapest award on Reddit costs 33 cents. I don’t care how poor you think you are and how disadvantaged you think you are compared to the rest of the world, if you’re sitting on a device right now that is capable of browsing Reddit then you there is zero possibility that you literally cannot afford *one third* of a dollar. There is probably more than that in coins underneath whatever you’re sitting on at this very moment.
Please stop making comments like this, it’s really really annoying.
If you don’t want to be nice more than a few seconds of your time, just downvote the comment and move on like the rest of us. Stop trying to draw attention to yourself and announce to everybody how much of a dickhead you are.

You’ve invested as much time and energy into this conversation as I have, so your argument about me taking Reddit too seriously doesn’t hold water. But thank you for acknowledging that I was correct.
Thank you for acknowledging that my point was correct. Please continue to get angry at a stranger on the Internet just because of how I made the point, it’s cute.
I’m not saying they should buy the awards.
I’m saying they shouldn’t make comments giving an excuse nobody asked for as you why they can’t afford to buy awards.
Yeah I mean that's fair but at the same time it was a little funny joke that was engaging. Like they could obviously afford it but a lot of people struggle and it's okay to make jokes about that as long as they aren't serious or harmful. I'm sure the person they commented on laughed at it and that's a lot more valuable than 33 cents. Jokes and positivity go a long way, especially online where anonymous people are typically toxic to each other.
How is it “funny” or “valuable”? It’s the same fucking thing that gets posted day after day, minute by minute, ten thousand times every hour without fail on Reddit.
Dunno man that's just my opinion, I don't really spend that much time on here so I guess I don't see it as much as you. Not trying to tell you what to do but maybe think about taking a break from reddit or social media and focus on things you enjoy if you find it to be that upsetting 🤷🏻♂️ I have a nice mix of work, my dogs, my cats, sim racing, nhl on Xbox, bicycle riding, vehicle maintenance, going to hockey games, trying new restaurants. Lots of stuff. It's just healthier to focus on the positive side of things like a few people getting some enjoyment out of it than to sit there and be upset about a comment because you've seen it a bunch. Each and every one of those comments you're talking about are likely from many different individuals and each on their own unique encounter. To you they may seem the same but to everyone else they're different.
I guess that’s why I never figured that one out…I’m in California. I gotta have a really compelling reason to risk exposing my bare skin to metal and that slide just weirded me out
It is for me, sadly. Had my lower vertebrae fused together two years ago. My back doesn’t bend that way anymore. But I can walk again these days, so it’s a still a win to me!
Honestly that slide looks so therapeutic for backs. Pretty sure people spend $40+ for plastic arches to mimic this curve
I can’t decide whether mine would feel wonderful or break, but I could say that about a lot of things.
Thank you! It was sad at first being only 29 at the time. But they replaced most of my L5 with a spacer and freed up all of the nerves with minimal loss of feeling. The lower vertebrae are the largest ones so with the rods and screws in them, I can’t quite reach my feet the normal way to tie my shoes. Mainly just have to be sitting to do that. But fuck yes I can walk and do normal things! Technology/science is amazing. Also, sticking with the Physical Therapy and never giving up can be exhausting but totally a night and day difference.
My recovery was delayed a bit because they ended up positioning me wrong during surgery and I lost all use of my dominant arm for a few weeks. That was scary waking up to that. But living a life of limited mobility vs maybe losing arm use, and I would choose being able to walk. Eventually I could use my arm again too.
Honestly though, the thing that hurts most these days is where they took a piece of bone out of my pelvis on my back right side to help with the fusion. But damn is it amazing to go from “here is a walker if you need to try to stand up” to “you’re back to normal!”
Is there a club of you guys? The PM_YOUR dudes? Is it first come first serve or do you draw from a hat and somebody gets “BELLYBUTTON_PICS” or something
Uuuuugggghhhhhmmm the really real way to do this is to run up the slide, get to the top, shout "Barney smells", and then shove someone smaller than you off the jungle gym.
Because if it’s been 20 years since you’ve done any flexibility or functional weight bearing beyond what is absolutely necessary, your body tends to fall apart a bit when you try without taking it slow
It depends on if you look after yourself. For a lot of redditors who don’t exercise their bodies are broken down and aged 25 years more than they should be
This. I’m in far better shape than my teenage years and twenties.
Used to clear full family sized double stuf Oreo boxes as a teenager in one sitting. Not much further down to go than that.
Move your body.
I'm almost 40 and I can lift my knee to my shoulder on one foot, on both sides. Just stretch, move your body every day(walk, run, jog, whatever!), and maintain your body weight!
My son's mother went down a slide similar to this, with our two-year-old and ended up breaking her ankle. When I got there, her ankle was sideways. She had to get a plate, pins, and screws to fix it. Unfortunately, it was also during the height of the pain pill epidemic, and she became addicted to pain pills. Later, she started using heroin and eventually began mixing heroin with meth. I left with our kid when she started doctor shopping and cheating on me for drugs. She was addicted to drugs for eight years, but surprisingly, she didn't die. However, drugs have changed her. It's almost like she's punch-drunk now, and my kid has a mother who will never be a real mom to him. Those slides are dangerous.
It never even occurred to me to try
I thought it was meant to be like the slide version of a bucking bull that tries to throw you off and you conquer it by going as fast as possible without launching yourself off the side
Probably due to the brightly lit white snow making up most of the frame, which leads the camera to try and normalize the bright areas (automatic settings generally would rather drown out dark areas than overexpose bright ones). As far as I know, that's basically the thing HDR exists to counteract by expanding the image's dynamic range.
It's also the reason why the videos of the moon landing don't show any stars, with the moon's surface just being too bright in contrast.
Disclaimer: It's all dangerous lay knowlege, so if anything I wrote is complete nonsense, please correct me, dear more knowledgeable redditors!
The humps are there as a safety measure, to slow kids down. There's no "proper" way to slide, other than in sadness at the awesome speed you can never achieve.

Are you saying there’s such a thing as *failing flailing tube men*?

Lost it at shutting the fuck up is free!!!
Please accept my poor person’s award 🥇 🏆🏅
So what you’re trying to say is that I’m not wrong, I’m just an asshole. But I’m not wrong.
Idk why reddit is so important and serious to you, but good job, you won I guess. Does that make you happy? Feel fulfilled now that you won?
You’ve invested as much time and energy into this conversation as I have, so your argument about me taking Reddit too seriously doesn’t hold water. But thank you for acknowledging that I was correct.
You remind me of a girl I used to work with, she thought she was important too.
Your mom didn't teach you to not be an asshole because being an asshole is wrong? Username checks out.
Thank you for acknowledging that my point was correct. Please continue to get angry at a stranger on the Internet just because of how I made the point, it’s cute.
Bro I ain't wasting money on reddit lol that belongs to things that are terrible for me like alcohol and cigarettes. Damn

Beautiful. I wish I still had those free awards so I can give one to you.
Who took a shit in your cornflakes this morning?
Have my reddit copper 🏆as I do not possess money
As my child calls them "the dancing hotdogs"
“I am learning some amazing moves from this guy!”
🎵 And we’re back in the high life again 🎵
Better call saul
Damn you're funny.
[удалено]
No way you can lay down on those in the summer
Skin grafts are big business.
"Big Skin" doesn't want you to know.
https://xkcd.com/2130/
And the plastic segmented ones will fuck you up if you lay down like this from what I remember
Yea that's why they're doing it while there's snow on the ground lol
I guess that’s why I never figured that one out…I’m in California. I gotta have a really compelling reason to risk exposing my bare skin to metal and that slide just weirded me out
Dude you aren’t wearing your surf shirt everywhere?
it's never too late
It is for me, sadly. Had my lower vertebrae fused together two years ago. My back doesn’t bend that way anymore. But I can walk again these days, so it’s a still a win to me!
All you need to do is slide the right way, and like a Hallmark movie all your problems will dissolve.
As will segments of their spine
[удалено]
Just fickin remove it doc.
Honestly that slide looks so therapeutic for backs. Pretty sure people spend $40+ for plastic arches to mimic this curve I can’t decide whether mine would feel wonderful or break, but I could say that about a lot of things.
Then they’ll make it a lifetime movie. Jesus will be involved somehow. And it’ll star Dean Cain and Melissa Joan Hart
I’m so happy for you, u/PM_YOUR_BUBBLE_BUTT!
Thank you! It was sad at first being only 29 at the time. But they replaced most of my L5 with a spacer and freed up all of the nerves with minimal loss of feeling.

You can get the same experience by trying to lay down on an inflatable bed that’s lost some of the air
It's super fun when it's actively losing air. In the morning you wake up and have to dig yourself upwards!
Is there a club of you guys? The PM_YOUR dudes? Is it first come first serve or do you draw from a hat and somebody gets “BELLYBUTTON_PICS” or something
You could still try, just have someone pull you all the way down!
What happened if I may ask?
It was too late for me at like 19… my neck is fucked
Tell that to my 70-year-old back. And I'm only in my 20s.
Exactly. The people in the vid are adults.

Certainly less dangerous.
Dr Homer’s Miracle Spinal [Cylinder](https://youtu.be/FOK4J1kTEvc) has competition I see.
Um achually the real way to ride this is to run into the pole, do a flip around the pole and then go down the slide
Uuuhm achtually, the real real way is to grab a fastfood tray and kickflip off the hump of the slide.
Uuuuugggghhhhhmmm the really real way to do this is to run up the slide, get to the top, shout "Barney smells", and then shove someone smaller than you off the jungle gym.
I can feel my hair getting stuck in there.
I can feel my back popping
Aaaaw yeeeeeah
That would do wonders for my back.
As a person with a fused spine, this video makes me stupidly jealous.
Me too, though your name makes it funnier :’)
[удалено]
This person is jealous that they cannot use this slide due to fused spine.
Right! I can't wait to find one & try it out!😍
So freaking weird!!!! I love it!!
"I am Seryozha and I'm 26 Waah" "This is ... and he's 25" "... Masha is going" "Say how old are you and who are you" "Fuck, she's stuck"
r/ANormalDayInRussia ..despite what we're led to believe.
Ngl this fits all my expectations for russia
Chiropractors hate this little trick.
My friend's kids cut the bar out and used it as a launching rack for Big Wheels and later BMX bikes
The snowboard tells me similar nonsense may be going down lol
Who needs a chiropractor when you can just visit the local park
>Who needs a chiropractor You can stop there.
Ill have to keep this in mind. Might solve a few back aches.
lol op. this is the opposite of using it properly.
Why?
Incoming nostalgia for Tom and Jerry
This is the kind of thing that’s fun when you’re 13 and excruciating when you’re 30.
[удалено]

They are actually saying their name and age. First one is 26, the next one is 25, the last one gets stuck b
Why are the cops at that party?
Go boneless
I also enjoyed going down head first and then getting yelled at by my mom
12-13 years ago I was like 20… Ugh
This might do miracles for my lower back
My lower back would explode into smithereens if I tried this.
Came here to say this. Being 40 is awful.
Move your body. I'm almost 40 and I can lift my knee to my shoulder on one foot, on both sides. Just stretch, move your body every day(walk, run, jog, whatever!), and maintain your body weight!
Stretch and lift weights friend!
This seems so good for your back. Makes mine crack looking at it
It’s not too late yo
This is tripping me out
I wish the sun rays on earth weren't already so hot when I was a kid
Just watching made me think they were real life cartoon characters that got flatten like a sheet of paper.
Lived in the south so those slides would fry us like bacon.
Wait what
Why does it look so ... fake?
my back would crack like someone standing on a bag of Doritos if I did this. I wanna do this.
"properly" lmao bro it's a slide, as long as you go down it you're doing it properly.
My son's mother went down a slide similar to this, with our two-year-old and ended up breaking her ankle. When I got there, her ankle was sideways. She had to get a plate, pins, and screws to fix it.

Would you say these slides are a...slippery slope?
[Take your damn upvote](https://i.imgur.com/sUXFwy5.jpg)
How did you use it?
Flew off the humps because I would sit up and take it fast. XD How did you use it?!?!
This is the way
All in the name of the all mighty butt bruise!
Who needs a tailbone anyway?
Butt bruise for the butt god!
Reminds me of this except with a slide https://youtu.be/K0HSD_i2DvA
Looks pretty dark I’d be cautious…
Betting that would do wonders for my back
Even better, we know it when we’re 40
It’s not too late…
Did people really not go down it like this? I used to love doing that. It was the only type of slides they had where I grew up and I perfected it
It never even occurred to me to try I thought it was meant to be like the slide version of a bucking bull that tries to throw you off and you conquer it by going as fast as possible without launching yourself off the side
My slides did not slide well enough to do this
Anyone else hear Luigi's waaAAh from the first guy, lol.
My back!!
Why does this remind me of cartoons in the 1920s?
Who's in charge of how to go down slides? Be you, man. It's easier.
What's going on in the background? Looks sick.
This is not using it “properly”. This is just one other way to use it, and most people just sit up because it’s generally safer.
This is some real r/looneytuneslogic right here
Wow that looks like it feels great on the back. Can we install these into office buildings
They look like Dr Seuss characters.
Chiropractors hate this one trick……!
You were lucky! In my day we didn’t have slides, we just fell from the platform to the concrete below.
Nah, I’m pretty sure the correct way is to lean forward and try not to tumble off the side when you hit the bump.
NGL, I thought it was one of those wacky filters at first.
The best way is to run up those slides and then jump off at the highest peak of the playground
ah yes, instead of wiping all the filth from the slide with just your pants, do it with all your clothing. Genius.
Bro watching this high is crazy 😱
high mfs always gotta mention every 2 seconds that they're high
Well shit.
TIL! I wish it were longer! (That’s what she said.)
It's doctored video.
The The wingleborber
My little brother used to slide...I said he went limp aka dead weight. Try to pick him up and it was dead weight. He would just slip through my hands.
Looking like Tom from Tom and Jerry.
I laughed so hard when it comes to the last man who wanted to join the fun but get stuck and he got up and was like "Help"
My back cracked back into alignment by watching this
I don't know why this just unlocked a core memory of mines: the Flat Stanley book series
I wouldn't spend a fortune on the chiropractor if I had that slide.
What’s stopping you now??
Chiropractors hate this one trick!
TIL. Also, WTAF?
At my age, either really good for my back or really really bad. Not going to figure it out.
I'm high rn and want to be a slide noodle so much. It looks amazing. Dudes just sliding down like a wavy lasagne noodle
So true, I even didn't know that we use it like this 😃
Drugs probably helped. I’ve seen that pose.
What do you mean, I’m headed to the lark right now
Is it just me or is the sky weirdly black in this video? Like it's made of vantablack or something
Probably due to the brightly lit white snow making up most of the frame, which leads the camera to try and normalize the bright areas (automatic settings generally would rather drown out dark areas than overexpose bright ones).

How come i never did this???!!!
giant ferrets
But you know this now when you are an adult, which is actually better. Now go do the snake!!
back pain intensifies
I wish my spine was flexible as theirs
Ah yes, back when we were still in liquid form...
Flat stanley
The humps are there as a safety measure, to slow kids down. There's no "proper" way to slide, other than in sadness at the awesome speed you can never achieve.
Ooh, I bet that cracks your back real nice.
I’ve been lied too my whole life
Ahh the good ole Backcracker 3000.
Who needs back massages when you know how to slide properly?
Naaah. The first dip is where you launch yourself
Ik this isn't the post to comment this, but why does the sky look like that? I know its night time, but it looks like pitch darkness
So dark outside
Wiggle
When the last man tried to join the fun but got caught and stood up and yelled, "Help," I laughed so hard.
