How did the girl get out of the cruise ship slide?

A female cruise ship passenger got stranded on the attraction's massive waterslide overlooking the ocean. The maritime mishap reportedly occurred on Norwegian's Cruise Lines' Ocean Loops slide. Thankfully, the thrill-seeker was able to exit the attraction through a door in the slide.

When a rider fails to clear the second loop and stops in the slide, an alarm sounds and a safety door opens so the rider can exit within seconds. More videos of Ocean Loops do show riders getting stuck in both loops, and there are access doors at both low points for safe and easy exits.

If you fall off a tube, you may be struck by other tubes or rafts on your way down. This can push you forcibly into concrete or plastic walls. If riders hit their head, they risk falling unconscious and face a high risk of drowning.

A water slide is a large slide that has water running down it and slides into a landing pool, or “catch” pool. A free-fall drop slide (also called a speed slide) is a steep slide that appears to drop straight down. Speeds can reach about 30 miles per hour or more.

Riders reach speeds of up to 60 miles (90 kilometers) per hour as they plummet down a free-fall slide with fake snowbanks on each side.

Always go down slides with your feet down not your head! It is extremely dangerous to go down slides with your head first because you move at a very high speed while sliding putting you at a risk of injuries. Always wait for your turn. Do not hold hands with others while sliding as this may injure you both.

With arms flailing around they tend to catch or snag on things and injure the hands and arms terribly. Better to get to the bottom of the slide and be able to help others than get there with a broken arm. Crossing your arms reduces the chance of friction against the sides of the slides.

The rate of injury recorded by the slide operators was 8.1 per 10,000 rides sold, and the rate of medically treated injuries was 3.0/10,000. The 65 medically treated sliders ranged in age from 8 years to 45 years. Age was unknown in one case.

The Design of the Slides As you slide into the turn, it's the design of the slide that keeps you safe. The walls are built up to keep you from propelling over the side. Water also plays a part in the design of the rides. Deeper water propels heavier riders along to keep them moving smoothly.

As for the world's tallest waterslide, it sits a continent away in Barra Do Pirai, Brazil, near Rio de Janeiro at the Aldeia das Aguas Park Resort. Named Kilimanjaro, after the world's largest free-standing mountain, the waterslide is 164 feet tall, according to the Water Slide Database.

Kilimanjaro — Aldeia das Aguas, Brazil After climbing 234 steps up, it's estimated that one in 20 riders chicken out from the slide at the top. It's the tallest body slide in the world (over 160 feet), clocking in even higher than the Statue of Liberty (not including its pedestal).

Gravity pulls the rider toward the Earth, helping to speed up their trip down the waterslide. Of course, friction also plays a part. Whether a person rides down the slide on their backs, a mat, or an intertube, the contact causes friction. This can slow the rider down.

Water reduces friction on the water slides. Hence, we move faster on water slides as there is less friction.
