This Trap Door Waterslide Makes People Scream!

Editorial Summary

The creator examines a specific type of trap door waterslide located on the Norwegian Bliss cruise ship. The video explains the mechanics of the ride, which begins with riders entering a chamber before the floor drops out from under them. This drop leads to a high speed descent that includes traveling over the side of the ship and navigating an uphill section. The entire experience lasts approximately nine seconds. The creator also addresses a common issue where riders become stuck in the slide. This phenomenon occurs most frequently with individuals wearing one piece swimsuits because the extra fabric creates friction that reduces speed. If a rider lacks sufficient momentum to clear the uphill portion, they may slide backward and become trapped in the bottom loop. When this happens, an alarm notifies an attendant who must use an emergency exit to assist the rider. The video concludes by suggesting that bikinis may provide more speed to ensure a successful ride through the entire course.
