I've been in that thing actually. Was pretty cool. Though there were all these urban myths that a fat kid got stuck in it once.
True star of Duinrell are those slides that blast you in those funnel-like constructs where you slowly lose speed unruly you drop out of them in the middle. Those are really dope.

It's not a thrilling action slide, just a funny little gimmick getting from one pool to the other.
And as such its okay. I definitely would try it, once or twice.

I swear we've had this thread, for the same water slide, with almost exactly the same title. Found it:

Would you go in this water slide?
It doesn't exist now but good god no. You enter and exit under water and get sucked through a filled pipe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPAFr9EtAEE

Nope! I smoked cigarettes for many years. I can hold my breath for over 15 seconds, but I don't trust myself enough to not start thinking that I might not make it, and then I'd start panicking, which will make it worse.
Yeah this too. It probably sounds like a "Sour Grapes" kind of attitude, but I really don't see the appeal of this in the first place.

No way. Even knowing exactly where it goes, the idea of being swept down a tube completely full of water fills me with anxiety.
Best I can do is the Sonic "running out of air" jingle.

Nope.
On a side note, my brother just sent me a message from the deepest pool in the world (at least as of last year, I think Dubai might have since built a deeper one)

which I find absolutely terrifying

No, but only because my ears are messed up and I get infections even if I'm underwater for a short period of time. It sucks.
After I nearly drowned a couple years ago, I get panic attacks in a hot tub. There's no way I could do this

THANK YOU.
I knew I had seen this before.
ResetEra already airing re-runs. smh
You're underwater the whole time? No thanks. I'm not very good at holding my breath, especially in a moving environment like that.

No fucking way dude held his breath that whole time, and then has enough air to go back up?

The human body can do some amazing things with enough training
Damn I guess so. That's crazy to think about. Imagine being at the very bottom and then you cough or sneeze or somehow lose your air. I'd be terrified!! But damn, props to these crazy people lol.
I dunno, it looks fun and terrifying both at the same time.
I can hold my breath pretty long, but then again...
Do you know these social situations where you're like "OK under how circumstances can I cough now", which is inevitably and every single time followed by the life ending urge to cough your lungs out like there's no tomorrow?
Somehow I feel I'd get that same urge about breathing to very moment I know I really can't (though admittedly that never happens during diving, so who knows)
