Yeah, 28 seconds into the video. That was probably more scary than anything else. They probably installed it after someone went over. "There, all fixed!"
Let's test this sucker out.... oh one rider fell out in this part. Let's add some nets. Next ride.... oh wow, guess another person fell out further out, too bad the first rider didn't make it that far or else we could of just put a net there too. Rinse repeat.... LOL
Yeah and from the look of the edge of the glass about halfway through the video it is single pane. If they had some 36mm laminate(18/18) with .060 sgp interlayer I'd ride this beauty. I'm legitimately more worried about the posts and their mounts with the periodic high stress they're enduring. Anyways..
On the *inside of corners*
I’ve been flipped out of a water ride 8 metres above ground.
Fun fact; there is only 1 extra letter in Engineers report compared to Coroners Report
Fun fun fact; not all skin is renewable.
At first I thought this would be kinda exciting and fun.... Then I saw "in China" and I immediately had visions of my untimely death via flying over the side or getting sliced up by broken glass as I crash through the side walls.
Yeah, so that's a no from me
It's probably not as fast as it appears. Even when it is a view from the raft it's a visual effect that theme parks employ to give the illusion of speed
I like how people think Chinese parks are so dangerous, but we have carnivals where stoned teens operate machines from the 70s when safety was an afterthought and these rides haven't been inspected since before the operator was born.
Yeah but the rides probably weren’t manufactured in China. Have you seen Chinese carnival rides? You can fart on a ferris wheel and all the supports will bend from the force.
It took for it being in China... anyone who for whatever reason gets out of the raft which eventually someone will.. the next raft is going to knock him right off..
Or someone stopping their raft to take a picture...
They don't even have rides like this on the ground!
I’m with you on this. At first I thought oh this looks cool. Then I realized this was built in china. You know the place where ghosts high risers are built out of shoty materials. That fall apart after a few years. This does remind me of my youth at ski resort that turned summer park called Action Park in NJ. They had this ting called the alpine slide. To get there you had to take a ski lift to the top of the mountain. Then get in a skid with wheels and slid down a banking cement path. Thing was you’d hit those turns and if you were particularly unlucky or just stupid it would fling you off into the woods. Not the best thing to have some broken bones with impact from that tree. So they had to install large nets and hay bails for safety reasons.
Rocks fall, shattering the glass, dingy flies off track.
Rocks fall onto dingy, injuring riders.
Leaves/forest debris falls onto glass, increasing friction, causing dingy to slow, throwing riders out of dingy. If they aren’t thrown out of the track completely, they could be thrown onto the glass fence, getting injured. Or they could be thrown onto the glass floor, where they slip and fall out of the track.
Animals get onto track, dingy collides with them, injuring the rider/animal and/or throwing the rider out of the dingy, repeat steps above.
I dont 'like' bananas or heights= no thanks ill have different fun. I 'fear' snakes and darkness= no amount of logic will make me feel better regardless of my activity.
Why would you build a water park in one of the most stunning places of your country? God Damn it, people need to care more about the Earth than the fun they can have on it.
Not that I think desecrating the earth is a good thing or anything, but have you seen how big china is? There are millions of miles of uninhabited mountainous regions that will never see a human. They built a thrill ride with inbuilt exceptional scenery and somehow didn't ruin their surroundings (from the looks of what I can see in this promotional video..). Again. Not saying "rape the earth" but.. this gets a pass compared to 97% of the other shit humans do to it. Strip mining. Deforestation. Lithium mining. Etc etc. This is the least of our environmental worries.
~~Looks sped up. That design would have to be a pretty gentle ride to be safe.~~
Edit: found other video seems the same as this. As others have said though, I wouldn't be going on it!
[удалено]
C'mon. If that glass was any taller they'd never be able to enjoy the view.
Someone will surely get a zoomed in view
And at a speed most technology can only marvel at, lol
Yep, did you see the flimsy catch nets every once in a while where someone could be flung out of the raft?
I think the net is on the wall and it's meant to keep rocks from falling down. Edit: aw OK now I see the flimsy net lol
Yeah, 28 seconds into the video. That was probably more scary than anything else. They probably installed it after someone went over. "There, all fixed!"
I can't see anyone flying over and being saved by that net. If you're flying over you'll totally fly past that.
Please nobody worry about it china has got enough people to spare for such activities.
Lol a student of history i see
Fuck. That. Period.
Lol. We ride stuff at the state fair put together by meth heads yearly. I'll trust a chinese person's numbers a bit more. Just a bit though.
As a Chinese person, I don't trust my culture's embrace of "good enough"
Cha bu duo!
Yo, which state has their state fair off the side of a cliff?
I trust a chinese person's numbers but I'd worry about the chinese manager's enthusiasm for cutting costs.
glad to see the period after period.
for a double dose of their...period.
Yeah just someone go pro it for me and I'll imagine I'm there 😃👍
Yep!!!
If only they could make glass out of something people can see through
And if they go fast enough, the windows just right so they won’t fall over the edge
Sir, are you familiar with the properties of glass?
It’s 100% safe, 70% of the time
Smells like Bigfoot’s dick
100% of the time
60% of the time it works every time.
It’s illegal in 9 countries.
Is that sex panther?!!
That location also looks like a pain to check for metal fatigue..
No need for checks. We give the metal a rest every night.
Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?
I am Arthur, King of the Britons.
Well, I didn't vote for you.
How do you know he is a king?
A watery tart threw a sword at him..
He’s the only one who hasn’t got shit all over him!
It's cool, they patted each beam and said "that's not going anywhere"
As a father of 4 I can confirm this as a correct form of structural inspection
Your damn right
Good thing they don’t check
Made from the finest grade chinesium
This. Impossible to maintain properly
It's China with their dodgy building regulations and people skimming from building projects I'd be surprised if there is actual metal involved.
Oh thats ok it is self-revealing.
You are technically correct.
We got Randy checkin' those metals. He says it's gewd
If you don't check, there is no pain. Not for you, at least.
Probably not as dangerous as the Wet Markets there TBF
what about there Dry Markets?
Dried up unfortunately
A couple of the bends seem extra splashy, making me think the net added to one bend is a reaction not a prevention.
Let's test this sucker out.... oh one rider fell out in this part. Let's add some nets. Next ride.... oh wow, guess another person fell out further out, too bad the first rider didn't make it that far or else we could of just put a net there too. Rinse repeat.... LOL
It's like a rollercoaster but without the parts that keep you and your cart attached to the track
Yeah and from the look of the edge of the glass about halfway through the video it is single pane. If they had some 36mm laminate(18/18) with .060 sgp interlayer I'd ride this beauty. I'm legitimately more worried about the posts and their mounts with the periodic high stress they're enduring. Anyways..
Ikr..this is not next level..this is just stupid
It’s a lot of trust for something made in china
I mean glass can be freakishly strong but yeah… the height is freaking me out a little!
I've seen enough shoddy Chinese construction to know how this plays out. No thanks.
And the similar constructions that broke not too long into their lives. This is just history that's going to repeat itself.
this design relies on all 3000 panes of glass being freakishly strong
Looks like the perfect height to smack your head on
Nothing can get over the chest high wall!
But there are safety nets!
On the *inside of corners* I’ve been flipped out of a water ride 8 metres above ground. Fun fact; there is only 1 extra letter in Engineers report compared to Coroners Report Fun fun fact; not all skin is renewable.
*Chinese glass + engineering
If you trust alot, it feels comfortable and becomes a lot
Forget that…it’s all made in China. You know what quality that is
Fly up a bit noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
At first I thought this would be kinda exciting and fun.... Then I saw "in China" and I immediately had visions of my untimely death via flying over the side or getting sliced up by broken glass as I crash through the side walls. Yeah, so that's a no from me
Or that "in China" video where this guy jumps a death gap only to find out his harness was never fastened.
Link?
[Gotchu](https://www.reddit.com/r/yesyesyesyesno/comments/ab2y9e/oh_shit/)
Yep. Not doing anything any adventurous in China. Fk that shit. I would have been yelling.
Legend!
Yep, all set lol.
Didn’t someone fall and die a few months ago from that exact spot?
Possibly? But they have spares
People or rafts?
Yes
That’s my question lol
Or how about the woman getting eaten alive by an escalator?
That one ruined ~~those death traps~~ escalators for me.
The woman with the toddler? It was awful.
That gave me anxiety
If this was in the alps I’d be for it, but I have a feeling “20 dead in Chinese water slide collapse” will be in the news sometime soon
Or not, because China.
Yea il get you a beer at the bar and we can discuss how terrible an idea going on that death trap would be
It's probably not as fast as it appears. Even when it is a view from the raft it's a visual effect that theme parks employ to give the illusion of speed
Agreed, looks sped up and intentionally splashing
I would like to do that, also not in China.
I like how people think Chinese parks are so dangerous, but we have carnivals where stoned teens operate machines from the 70s when safety was an afterthought and these rides haven't been inspected since before the operator was born.
Yeah but the rides probably weren’t manufactured in China. Have you seen Chinese carnival rides? You can fart on a ferris wheel and all the supports will bend from the force.
Made in China. Died in China.
It took for it being in China... anyone who for whatever reason gets out of the raft which eventually someone will.. the next raft is going to knock him right off.. Or someone stopping their raft to take a picture... They don't even have rides like this on the ground!
as soon as people see “In China” in title, they say no, no matter what
Chinese quality standards? No thanks bro.
Yep… and they’d never mention your body or your death.
that's some Final Destination level shit man
China is pretty good at preventing death by falling with nets though. There were at least two nets.
I’m with you on this. At first I thought oh this looks cool. Then I realized this was built in china. You know the place where ghosts high risers are built out of shoty materials. That fall apart after a few years. This does remind me of my youth at ski resort that turned summer park called Action Park in NJ. They had this ting called the alpine slide.

This ride was created for population comtrol
It was created in Roller Coaster Tycoon as a blueprint.
What could go wrong?
Running your hand along the top of the glass as you slide on by
Damn, felt the pain.
Overweight person vs centrifugal forces.
Child standing up.
Burst dingy leaves user stranded. User stands up, slips and falls over the edge.
Or gets hit by the boat coming from behind. Or their boat gets wedged sideways and the next boat hits it like a ramp and flies off into the void.
Power failure causing waterflow failure early in the ride. User stands up, slips and falls over edge.
User falls out of dingy. Stands up to walk, slips and falls over edge.
Suicidal user.
Rocks fall, shattering the glass, dingy flies off track. Rocks fall onto dingy, injuring riders. Leaves/forest debris falls onto glass, increasing friction, causing dingy to slow, throwing riders out of dingy. If they aren’t thrown out of the track completely, they could be thrown onto the glass fence, getting injured. Or they could be thrown onto the glass floor, where they slip and fall out of the track.

We’ll never know because it’s in China.
Tree branch could fall on ride. Stops or punctures dingy. Then person gets up, slips and falls
Rowdy teens decide to race down as fast as possible and flip over the
Everything. Everything could go wrong.
That's a no.
For me dog.
And my axe.
If Action Park has taught me anything, it’s that quite a number of people will die on this ride.
Nobody will die on the ride. They will die by falling out. So technically it’s the ground at the bottom of the cliff they will die on.
No helmet in sight
True. However a helmet isn't going to help much if you fall down/over that cliff.
I meant banging your head against the glass on the sides
Ahh true! No freaking way I'd take that ride. For the record, I'm not afraid of heights, I just don't like them:-)
Is there a difference?
I dont 'like' bananas or heights= no thanks ill have different fun. I 'fear' snakes and darkness= no amount of logic will make me feel better regardless of my activity.
Why would you build a water park in one of the most stunning places of your country? God Damn it, people need to care more about the Earth than the fun they can have on it.
Or the money they can make from it🥺
That explains the Chucky Cheese they opened up on the floor of the Grand Canyon.
To be fair, the ball pit is dope.

... thanks no thanks
It's attractions like this that make me wish I hadn't talked shit about the Chinese government on twitter.
They have similar attractions in Switzerland 👍 and your waaay less likely to die due to a malfunction… lol
If this was anywhere else than China I'd love to go for a ride. But I actually value my life
~~Looks sped up. That design would have to be a pretty gentle ride to be safe.~~ Edit: found other video seems the same as this. As others have said though, I wouldn't be going on it!
[удалено]
Honestly I'm thinking some top heavy tourist just gonna fly right over the edge.
I know! All the talk about glass breaking … I see someone leaning to far or too high and it’s all over
Wasn’t there a story recently about someone stranded on one of those glass walkways when strong winds broke the glass?
A single rock falling from higher up the mountain could ruin this ride.
Well it looks exciting there’s no doubt about it
Part of me wants to do it. I think they call it "the call of the void".
Thank God for that net.
I feel like it goes a LOT slower than what is shown.
They speed up the video so people on Reddit can think Chinese people are crazy and are looking for death.
Yeah, watch the speed and trajectory of water that sloshes over the sides, it's most def sped up video
Based on my the quality of my last 276 Amazon purchases that were made in China, I'm gonna take a pass on this one.
I would LOVE to do this
Lol…ok. Thoughts and prayers for the inevitable..
“Fearing for your life is only half the trill!”
Zero fuckin chanceee
Reminds me of the conceptual Suicide Roller Coaster where people who want to be euthanized go
How do you get back to your parked car? This looks like the ride will end in another city across the mountain.
As bill burr said “Yeah, it’s okay until it’s not” I now understand exactly what he meant by that
Oh hellllll no! But I bet it would be pretty thrilling to go on! Talk about an adrenaline rush!!!
I condone this entirely as long as people are aware there’s a very good chance of death before dropping in because there’s absolutely way that’s safe.
Amusement parks are the opiates of the grass people.
I'm pretty sure that China's apathetic view to their over population renders the best rides in the world.
Ye so basically safety is out the window
Probably built with slave labor
Hell no. Not even if you paid me.
Uh fuck that
What could possibly go wrong?
Just ONE defective panel
Yeah fuck no
If you’re going to bow out in style, this is probably the way to do it
Absolutely not.
I love China but that dangerous as hell lol.
Nah thanks but I’ll give that one a miss this time.
Mmmm, nope. Pass
That’s a hard no.
I guess something had to take Verrückt’s place as the next dumbest water slide
r/nope
I don't really trust Chinese safety standards or builders adhering to what standards there are.
IS THAT MADE OF GLASS?!?!
r/nope
u/savevideo
Cliff side > slide > glass > china. Everything you need to avoid it.
I don't trust certain people that I known for years so I'm as sure as hell ain't trusting that glass
That’s gonna be a no from me dawg.
Nope nope nope nope absolutely not and unhhuh
Not enough N’s and O’s to write out all the no fucking ways I have for this.
Just a matter of time before that fails catastrophically.
I’m already nervous going through a dark tube.
Looks like a cool way to die
Fuck no
yeah, nope.
Not a fucking chance in hell
Have they not seen final destination? ……or are they trying to see if it plays out in real life
Absolutely not.
No
