Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Why would they keep it after the first or second accident?

Because this was in Action Park, and the person who owned it was a libertarian who stuck to his values. Their reasoning probably went something like: Why close the slide? If people think it's dangerous, they don't have to use it.

I think the best part is that Action Park was known for allowing its customer to order as much alcohol as they wanted. So high probability that if you went down that slide, you were shitfaced.

If you haven't watched Class Action Park, the documentary about this place, I highly recommend it.

They interview some former employees and guests and it's all just as crazy as it sounds.

My parents never let me go to Action Park
