Slip 'n Slide

A Slip 'n Slide is a lawn water toy in which users slide down a wet plastic sheet. In 1993, a warning was issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission which stated that adults and teenagers should not use backyard slides due to injuries caused to the neck and spinal cord by the forward momentum of slamming onto the slide or stopping abruptly.

"The WHAM-O slides are designed for use by children only. Use by adults and teens has the potential to result in neck injury and paralysis. Because of their weight and height, adults and teenagers who dive onto the water slide may hit and abruptly stop in such a way that could cause permanent spinal cord injury, resulting in quadriplegia or paraplegia. The slider's forward momentum drives the body into the neck and compresses the spinal cord. Kransco reports that seven adults and a 13-year-old teenager suffered neck injuries or paralysis while using WHAM-O slides." - CPSC (1993)
