World's Tallest Water Slide at Schlitterbahn

HELL.to.the.NO! I don't do rides that tall without a restraint or SOMETHING :look:

I guess maybe the restraint system is the 3 friends that you can go on it with... when your primary restraint friend flies off just go for the backup.
 
This is going to be an inner tube that you and the other 3 people with a death wish are in right? How can they be 100% sure that the tube is going to stay within the channel?
 
This is what I picture happening but at a lot higher speed lol

It's designed by Jeff Henry, who's designed some of the most popular waterpark rides. He invented the master blaster, and is an industry leader. The tube will be sucked down to the chute by the water, then inertia and master blaster technology will push it over the hump. The 30 second ride will be thrilling, but the climb that high will likely keep most from riding it. To bad they didn't have any topo changes to make it less of a climb. I imagine at some point they will end up putting side or tunnel netting so a rider can't do anything stupid.
