People have huge concerns after seeing how world's first stand-up waterslide works

Some things just don't need to be messed with, and waterslides, perhaps, belong in that category. You slide down on your belly or a**e and enjoy the ride. The end.

So, you can understand some people's concerns over what's been dubbed the 'world's first stand-up waterslide'. Check it out:

The tech whizzes at AquaMagis in Plettenberg, Germany, reimagined the humble waterslide, creating a version that allows you to remain standing up the entire way round.

Understandably, the idea raised many an eyebrow with people who've come across it online.

Footage shared on TikTok actually shows someone giving the Sauerland Surfer a go.

In the clip, the POV shot sees the person doing exactly what you'd expect, standing upright as water flows around them, pushing them around.

The only saving grace it seems from the entire ordeal is that it's a relatively short course, any longer and you'd be at serious risk of catching some Zs and doing yourself a mischief.

But it's not just the entertainment value people have raised questions over, many have shared concerns over how safe the ride actually is.

Reacting to a clip of the slide on TikTok, one user shared: "I've been on one of those and I fell and it hurt so bad."

Another commented: “Sometimes there’s a reason why nobody has done it before."

"All I think is knee injury," put a third.

While someone else added: "I feel like my toe would get stuck and my foot would roll over it."

Now, I imagine plenty of health and safety checks have been done on the ride, but I for one am gonna stick to the traditional slides, thanks.

But if you think potentially rolling your ankle is a big deal, think again.

A water slide without air is the type of ride that would make someone who isn't claustrophobic become claustrophobic.

The Tiki Pool at Duinrell holiday park is one of the Netherlands' most famous waterparks, and the indoor/outdoor play area is known for its thrilling slides.

However, back in 1994, it was home to arguably the 'scariest slide of all time'.

The Fly Over was the world's only underwater water slide, which is exactly how it sounds.

To access the ride, swimmers would have to dive underwater and let gravity transport them upwards through the airless slide for around 15 to 20 seconds.

"Imagine a water slide with no air and only water inside, one that sucks you through it, like Augustus Gloop in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory," explains YouTuber Theme Park Crazy.

It sounds terrifying, but it actually existed.

"Riders would enter a pool and dive underwater towards the slide's entrance.

"They would then be sucked up into the slide and taken through it before ending up in another pool, like me when I first found out about it, you may be wondering, 'How such a slide is even possible?'"

How indeed?
