An Australian diving champion wasn’t going to let boys have all the fun and decided to try out a water slide that women were not allowed on.
Rhiannan Iffland was visiting Austria’s Area 47 adventure park when she created the viral moment, which left netizens bewildered and intrigued.
The famous theme park is described as the ultimate outdoor playground with options to go bungy jumping, canyoning and rafting. It also hosts an extreme water slide that not only is one of Europe’s fastest but also led to Rhiannan sparking multiple headlines.

The 32-year-old woman, a seven-time consecutive Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series champion, shared a video of herself at the top of the water slide.
In the viral clip that amassed nearly 150K views on Instagram, Rhiannan pointed at a sign that said women are not allowed to ride the water slide due to the risk of injury.
“Apparently women are not supposed to do this slide,” read the text on the clip.
The terrifying ride can send visitors on a speed of up to 50mph, according to LADbible.
“Here for a good time not a long time! Another YOLO moment,” the fearless Australian diver wrote in the caption.
Social media users shared their thoughts after watching the heart-stopping moment.
“I got the worst enema on that slide bahhaha you are brave girl,” one said while another wrote, “No women allowed- unless you are a cliff diver because then you are used to it.”

“The amount of people that don’t understand why women aren’t supposed to go on this slide is scary!” read a third comment.
Some comments were TMI, including: “Unfortunately I got a water slide enema. Peed out half the swimming pool in the toilet from my behind. I literally couldn’t stand upright after it happened. Weirdest thing I’ve ever experienced.”
“OMG I had no idea it had a name. Water slide enema, this perfectly describes what happened to me,” another wrote.
Rhiannan later said it was not her intention to look down upon the water slide’s rules and asserted that safety must always be top priority.
“It was never my intent to mock the safety regulations of this water slide,” she told news.com.au.
“A person’s safety is paramount and I am constantly weighing up any danger with my job. To suggest otherwise, is wrong,” she added.

The thrill-seeking athlete is a trailblazer in her sport of cliff diving. She took up elite trampolining at the age of 9 and eventually moved to Olympic diving, both of which she believes contributed to her cliff diving skills.
Despite having dived numerous times, the self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie said she still feels some amount of fear every single time she’s on a cliff’s edge, staring down at the stretch of blue sprawling several feet away from her.
“My greatest challenge is jumping off that platform, every single time,” she said in a Red Bull interview. “We take a really long break in the off-season, only training from 10m (32.8 feet). The greatest challenge is relearning everything at the beginning of the season.”
When onlookers watch her dive, they see her exude confidence with a cool, calm, and composed exterior. But the diving champion admitted that it takes a great deal of physical skill and mental clarity to perform the dives.
“The higher you get and the more nervous you get, the harder it is. You’re simply trying to control what’s going on in your mind to make sure it all goes well. You have more adrenaline and there’s a lot more danger up there,” she said.

The 32-year-old also shared that she has a process to build up “the courage to step up there and give it a shot.”
“When competing, there’s a lot of visualisation – going through the dive in your mind and preparing the mind and body for what it’s about to do,” she explained.
Music, singing, and even visualizing moments that transport her to her “happy place” are part of her fear-facing process.
“It’s always music blasting in my ears. I’m singing at the top of my lungs and really trying to get out a lot of emotions through that music and singing,” she told the outlet
“When I step up on the platform, I do a lot of breathing. I find myself closing my eyes imagining my niece running down the beach in her tutu, taking me to my happy place,” she continued.
The daredevil diver has more than 114K followers on Instagram, watching her inspiring journey of passion and dedication.
“Sometimes we take one step forward and take another step back. However, it is in those moments that challenge us where we find the most valuable lessons,” she wrote in an Instagram post.
“These experiences shape our character and can teach us more than we know. This is why I continue doing what I do, embracing every challenge and learning on this crazy journey,” she concluded.
Social media users shared their thoughts after watching the heart-stopping moment of the thrill-seeker plunging down the waterslide
You know what? I would be thankful to be told that it might hurt my vagina/intestines...liability aside.
First thing I thought was “why can’t we go on it” now I’m too scared to even try lmao I didn’t even know that was possible before I read this article and googled it!!!
Load More Replies...The interesting thing is, how many people immediately scream "sexist!!1!!!1!", skipping the "what might be the reason for that" thinking process. Maybe all of them should be put on that slide for a quick lesson in the differences of the male/female anatomy. To put it short and blunt: Baby hole is not made for kärchering, neither is the pee hole. Men do not have a baby hole, and can point the pee hole out of the danger direction. Back hole of both are not immediately pointing in the danger zone, does have a sphincter and can take some water. However, it might be healthier to design special shorts for both genders, if such a slide really must exist.
How about allowing both genders if they're wearing appropriate clothing/gear to protect said holes on both genders?
Load More Replies...I'm no stranger to water slides. Popping out of the water with one tit over my top, one tit pulled out below, and camel toe like none other... How is it safe for men and not for women? Honestly curious. I get no pregnant women... but if this water is damaging you'd think it'd damage mens outside parts too?
The backside of a person has a long, long tube than can potentially hold a lot of water before permanent damage. The front part of a woman is has two small cavities attached by a tiny connection, ending in a blunt end. Those spaces are not capable of accommodating large amounts of water under high pressure. And there is no sphincter allowing us to tighten the entrance potentially keeping the water out. Imagine shoving a pressure washer in there and turning it on....both cavities could quickly fill and then rupture....That's about best way I can say it.
Load More Replies...This was my only concern from this article, not silly people fighting over which gender has the proper sphincter for it
Load More Replies...This thing sounds like it would be problematic no matter how many holes you have between your legs. That said, this sounds more like a failure to provide proper safety equipment than it does a reason to exclude those with vaginal openings. It's not that hard to offer up a protective covering to mitigate the danger a bit...
Businesses do a cost benefit analysis. Apparently these business operators have determined it is cheaper to not provide protective clothing, and to put up a sign that disallows certain people from riding which will probably remove any liability if the sign is disobeyed.
Load More Replies...As a man, I do not want to go on that slide. I have had the displeasure of unwarranted enemas doing such things. 0/10 would not do again.
having been ONCE on a very steep water slide, yes, that isn't related to what parts you have. the unwanted enema is universal. I don't recall having an issue up the front, but definitely at the back, and it was very unpleasant. only went on it once, same with my husband.
Load More Replies...What issue I see with this... The colon is very delicate If it's actually giving people massive amounts of water to the colon / intestines then it's just as dangerous for men as women because intestinal rupture can be quite fatal even if you survive the initial injury (talk about massive infection risk, that tissue bleeds prolifically and it does have a limit to forces or pressure to it.) I googled it though I've only found one report of vaginal injury from a slide. 🤷 Makes you wonder if it's one of those things where they just assume there's a risk but never actually see if there's a real risk. That's happened before, even though the uterus is a very strong muscular organ Sometimes we assume it's just going to fall out at the drop of a hat. As a nurse though I'd say no one should be doing something that forcibly pushes water into your holes. I see some people mentioning wet suits as protection. If that really would block the water that seems like the way to go.
The president of the International Ski Federation basically said in 2005 that women are too delicate to ski jump and ski jumping would damage their procreative abilities. Lindsey Van went after that! As far as any knows, no woman's uterus has fallen out ski jumping despite that argument against it. (Yes, yes, apples to oranges. I'm not comparing the water slide to ski jumping, just adding on that fun tidbit after Jessica notes how some people are afraid a uterus will fall out at the drop of a hat.)
Load More Replies...Itis not about that. The digestive tract can accommodate water streams. To be blunt, since the article is vague, you risk basically having your uterus explode
Load More Replies...Honestly I think it should be clearer. Like “can cause internal damage to vagina.” That way it’s not this weird blanket statement that people misinterpret. It’s also still a liability for the park since a trans man with a vagina could go on and then sue due to the unspecified sign.
Instead of just saying "no women" it should explain why it is more dangerous for women.
“It was never my intent to mock the safety regulations of this water slide,” she told news.com.au. Then filmed herself ignoring safety regulations. I'm glad this idiot got a lot of internet attention that she obviously needs so much. Please stop making stupid people famous.
... reading the comments on this article, yeah, I'm with the third social media commenter quoted: the amount of women that don't understand why women shouldn't go down this slide is scary...
I've never been on any kind of water slide and in a million years wouldn't have imagined my vagina would fill with water. Even if it did, it's been filled with guy stuff plenty, and babies, and no problem. I admit I might just not get it.
Load More Replies...This is mostly due to how many female swimsuits are made. That is, many are not the shorts type but rather the bikini or triangle type. So it’s easier for women to get frontal wedgies…. And those wedgies literally open the flood gates allowing water inside.
Possibly. In that case, it would be an easy fix, though - female two-pieces including boy shorts or board shorts absolutely exist, I own one myself because I prefer the fit, and having a bit more UV protection (mine also includes an optional rash guard, it's brilliant).
Load More Replies...How about we don't design slides like this in the first place so as not to endanger anyone?
yeah, not that one, but I've been on a really steep waterslide. funnily enough nobody was going back for another go. and nobody hung around in the bottom pool for it, after getting a load of water forcing its way up your back passage, and realising that the landing water probably WASN'T very hygienic, as you get out and walk funny. it's probably not worse for women. I don't particularly recall any issues up the front, but that was probably because the situation at the back was so violating.
Sludge like that are all over the US and have been for 39 years and have always allowed women. I rode one at Big Splash in Oklahoma in 1984.
There is a difference between an enema and a douche ... But also curious how do you protect your nostrils and face?
Wondering if there couldn't be some sort of special protective shorts or something that would make a difference?
Dude here.... when I go to water parks I usually put a mini rubber on my pee pee and also use my wife's butt plug for the back end. Just an idea for anyone reading.... your welcome !
I know you're joking.... Well, i think you may be joking.... Probably..... Sorta??...... Eh. Doesn't matter.... I think you're on to something! Market that idea. The water park butt plug! It should be required for big water slides
Load More Replies...I'm guessing that the women posting that this is se.xist bs have never gotten water in their lady bits while cannonballing into a pool or even sitting near a hot tub jet. Water blasting at your cervix at 50 mph? No thanks! As long as they have a warning for why you may not want to go on it it's all good. Saw one comment from a lady that on a slower slide she got an unwanted enema plus water up the lady bits! Caveat emptor I guess!
I've cannonballed into a pool and sat near a hot tub jet. No notice of extreme vaginal entry.
Load More Replies...If the problem is water going up your b-hole, why is okay for men? They have b-holes, too.
I feel like this is important information that gets overlooked in (specifically the American school system). We need to know how our body works so maybe we can apply it to other things as well..
All these dudes getting enemas there? Never mind the slide, I'm not getting in that water!
So instead of having a sexist sign, explain WHY it is dangerous. And yes the reason is obvious but after reading the text.
Slides like this should be illegal in the first place. It sounds dangerous for the body even for men who just get it in their intestines. It's obviously not safe and should be banned
Anyone else notice there is no conclusion? Just blah, blah, blah. Where is her review of the rule breaking ride? Was she injured?
I thought the rule was to protect women who are pregnant. Never been on one of these so news to me about water wedgies lol.
I'm a barefoot warerskier, we go 40mph. I use a barefoot wetsuit made for it. Barefoot shorts sound like the answer for this slide! I would not go without them.
Binitha, did you have a word minimum. This could have been a decent story, but your avoidance of the lead while reading some points multiple times dilutes any power it could have had. You made this as tedious as you could it seems, and the add scrolls (not your fault of course) made it even worse.
They don't ban women for sexism reasons. They ban women for safety reasons. Duh.
We get it, you're tough. Part of being tough is listening to common sense
The way I read the sign isn't females can't ride, it's u can't go down in normal position, u must cross r arms and legs.
so you're going to get your hoohaa caught somewhere or something? (just kidding i know you dont)
Tightly cross your legs and tighten your booty muscles as if trying to prevent entry like when you don't want entry there by accident from someone
US entitled idiocy is apparently spreading to other countries now 🙄 guys, don't be like us in the US.
I just would start to sell panties out of poolnoodles, like a clown making animals out of balloons. Surely men don't like blue balls or enemas either.
If you can effectively clench tight everything below the waist when you ride this slide you should be ok. Clench your b******e like you're trying to hold in a fart and contract your vaginal muscles like you're holding in a p**s. The force of the water is going to be working against you and that's the danger. I wonder, is there no clothing that would be protective? Rubber underpants that would block water from blasting up people's bums? I once went water skiing and when I had my first big fall on the water I got a serious lake enema. I had to try to hold in the loads of water that had blasted into my poopchute. Once on land I struggled to the bathroom where a sign on the door said "number ones only" (meaning no pooping). Like seriously!? Since I was technically pissing out of my bum, I was in the clear. Anyway, who's verifying that!? I've not water skied since. I'd probably not go on that slide either for fear that my clenching game wasn't up to snuff.
Sheer idiocy. Waterslide enema aside, there’s worse that could happen. My mother went waterskiing without a proper wetsuit as a teen, got such a bad infection she needed a radical bilateral salpingectomy. (Removal of fallopian tubes) Meaning at the tender age of 16, she was told she’d never be a mother, something she desperately wanted. If it weren’t for IVF being invented 10 years later, I literally wouldn’t exist.
It is dangerous because the water can go up into our vagina with horrendous force, right past the cervix, cause a prolapse, and really mess us up. It has happened to other women. Glad there was a warning and someone sensible to realize such things. It isn't sexist. The "good time comment" is just silly. It is a completely different type of risk. Sure it could end you if it is that bad, but also completely change your whole life. Seriously fellow ladies, we are smarter then this! Remember we live longer for a reason.
I saw an article on how a woman had to have surgery because it went up her vaginal canal and seriously hurt her. Her legs were closed, crossed.
Seriously though, guys aren't afraid of getting an unwelcome colonoscopy?
Fore: emagin sticking a tiny tube up your pee hole then attaching it to a pressure washer before turning it on! Prolly not a good idea,no?
So only women get enemamize on this ride?? Men have aholes too.
So men don't get enemaed on this slide? They have aholes too.
Similar water force to tubing behind a jetboat, I'll bet. Never again!
This was most likely publicity stunt back by both her and the park, she obviously is a woman and if that's the rules most likely security or other staff would have stopped he before she got to to of the slide lol
No woman allowed unless you are a BADASS cliff diver....go girl but be careful and keep those legs crossed tight
Worst article ever. Lots and lots of buildup with absolutely no payoff I down voted this trash. Thanks for wasting my time. Next time, publish the final outcome of what you're writing about, you hack!
Dani Moffet. The sphincter muscle takes care of the rear end, if you have a sphincter muscle on your vagina you will be fine on this water slide. Quite an irresponsible act by that woman, thinking only of herself
It's something would have happened to her I guess it would have been the water parks fall right nobody understands and listens
why don’t they just fix the water slide instead of banning a particular sex? because my butts too juicy i can’t go down this slide? i do not understand.
The problem would be the super high velocity douche of the vagina, cervix, uterus and female bladder. The men would still get the enema but you'll have to agree they have a much safer set up for the other bits
You can leave out uterus and bladder there. Take an anatomy course.
Load More Replies...Solution? How about turning around and go headfirst, then everyone's holes are protected. The result is a win/win for everyone and demonstrate the rule of natural selection undeniably.
Men have rectums also. They have outer genitals (penis and testicles) that can be damaged. Isn't it a problem for them, too?
I legitimately broke my hymen on one of these water slides when I was in fourth grade. It wasn't till I was older that I realized what had happened.
I don't love that there's a guys-only slide because seems out of touch with the times and indirectly supporting old systems that still favour men, but that's a much more complex argument for another day. At least there's a warning though, and disregarding the warning *is* , in fact, the exact definition of mocking safety regulations.
I don't think the safety issue is about water slide enemas as much as water slide douches. Water forced into the birth canal at high pressure can kill a woman.
I love how this post explained why it's a male only slide. 🙄 Lol. I also love the people defending the nonsensical logic. You guys do realize men also have holes, as well as scrotums, right? If the water pressure is that bad, then it is certainly not safe against a man's Bunghole, urethra or his balls. Also, fun fact, the vag is tougher than a b******e and so many people get water slide enemas up their butt, sooooo what now? 😮💨
Do you think a company would go out of its way to limit access to 50% of all users without having some sound legal or medical justification for it? You can also cup balls, or do like the drawing shows, and it will completely protect the man's urethra as well. I think buttholes are in less danger due to the angle of entry. A vaginal canal is facing the water pressure head-on. But I think you should try it for everyone and prove the various consulted experts wrong.
Load More Replies...People really need to wear sunscreen. It's not a joke. The sun can be very dangerous.
True, but not really the issue in this article.
Load More Replies...I don't understand why only women are (apparently) subject to "water slide enema". Why not men too? We both have buttholes in approximately the same location.
The article did not explain it at all. You can take a jet of water into the r****m without injury. It literally shreds your cervix and uterus.
Load More Replies...I'm pretty sure if you keep your legs crossed it's fine, especially if you are an athlete. It's silly people who go down and can't hold their legs closed that run into issues.
There's one sure fire way to avoid the "enema" from happening. If she's a daredevil, go head first!
She said she didn't want to mock the rules well that's a lie. She thought she knew better and the rules didn't apply to her. Her video with YOLO showed she didn't care. She would probably be the first to make a claim if something went wrong. There's rules for a reason and its not there to p**s anyone off. People like her are just clout chasers.
The sign of a real journalist would be to end your article with what happened after she slid instead of filling it with quotes from past events.
We did not get her comments after. All this and no comment from her. Fire someone please.
It would be like a forced douche from a high pressure hose. You feminists are wanting to complain they are trying to protect you from that?
If screaming down a metal slide on your a**e at 50 mph is on your bucket list, simply wear the proper attire, like say, a pair of neoprene shorts (like the kind made for jet skiing/power lifting) over your bottoms, and you're golden. As far as the OuTrAgE is concerned, everyone ought to know by now how clickbait works. The more polarizing the topic, the more engagement an article receives, and NO WOMEN ALLOWED! is hella polarizing these days. I mean, really y'all... 🙄
I'm guessing there's a liability issue if a woman who doesn't know she's pregnant loses her baby from going down this slide. And by prohibiting women they don't have to decide whether a woman is visibly pregnant or just chubby. You'd think a pregnant woman wouldn't risk it, but there are so many stupid people out there.
Ugh, why are people so easily riled up? It doesn't say "no women." It's clearly saying women shouldn't go down in that position, for obvious reasons, and should keep their legs crossed and arms over their breast's. Nothing sexist here.
She should have some consequence handed to her for ignoring the rules it's not funny
So half the commenters can't get past the rectal enema joke, while true isn't the point of the article. Also makes me worried for the collective abilities mentally of people. There are a few great comments who actually get it. I'm not for nor against a slide like this. If I walked up to anything labeled for women only I also would just keep walking. It's literally that simple. People of any gender or something they perceive as against THEM will read what they want and take what they want from something like this to further their agenda. I'm all for equality, but again if it said no men should ride or do xyz as may cause bodily harm well I'm good and keep going to the next thing. Well aware will get down voted a ton. Kinda makes me laugh. Actually it makes me sad bc people can't handle the truth and or reality anymore. Signing off as a proud father of a lesbian daughter who is in the military. Only 23 and smarter than most of the commenters I have seen.
Yes... If i saw an amusement park ride with a sign that said "women only; due to high risk of testicular injury, no men allowed"..... I'm not going to scream about sexism, claim women can have testicles too, then demand to ride. Nooo, I'm going to walk on over to a more testicle friendly ride and go to bed that night with happy healthy testes
Load More Replies...I'm honestly not sure why all the butthurt or maybe vagina hurt? females there are on here over a slide that y'all are not supposed to go on because of safety. Obviously they have that rule for a reason. I'm guessing they have probably had issues in the past and don't want the liability. That doesn't mean it has to be tore down. Men can obviously still go down safely. One thing for men only and y'all get your panties in a knot. Get over it.
It doesn't say the reason women aren't allowed. That's why. Without context, it appears to be sexist.
Load More Replies...The fact that she said she "didn't mean to mock safety regulations" while deliberately disregarding safety regulations and posting it for a wide crowd to see is just ridiculous. Women aren't allowed to ride that slide for legitimate safety reasons, men met get water in the a**s if they go down, but coordinated water being pushed at high speeds into the vagina could do serious damage to the cervix. She should not have posted this video, it sends a dangerous message that safety regulations posted at parks and on equipment are fine to ignore
Show me where it explains the reason. The average vacationer isn't going to think it's for safety reasons, because there is absolutely no indication that's why.

There is a difference between an enema and a douche ... But also curious how do you protect your nostrils and face?
Wondering if there couldn't be some sort of special protective shorts or something that would make a difference?
Dude here.... when I go to water parks I usually put a mini rubber on my pee pee and also use my wife's butt plug for the back end. Just an idea for anyone reading.... your welcome !
I know you're joking.... Well, i think you may be joking.... Probably..... Sorta??...... Eh. Doesn't matter.... I think you're on to something! Market that idea. The water park butt plug! It should be required for big water slides
Load More Replies...I'm guessing that the women posting that this is se.xist bs have never gotten water in their lady bits while cannonballing into a pool or even sitting near a hot tub jet. Water blasting at your cervix at 50 mph? No thanks! As long as they have a warning for why you may not want to go on it it's all good. Saw one comment from a lady that on a slower slide she got an unwanted enema plus water up the lady bits! Caveat emptor I guess!
I've cannonballed into a pool and sat near a hot tub jet. No notice of extreme vaginal entry.
Load More Replies...If the problem is water going up your b-hole, why is okay for men? They have b-holes, too.
I feel like this is important information that gets overlooked in (specifically the American school system). We need to know how our body works so maybe we can apply it to other things as well..
All these dudes getting enemas there? Never mind the slide, I'm not getting in that water!
So instead of having a sexist sign, explain WHY it is dangerous. And yes the reason is obvious but after reading the text.
Slides like this should be illegal in the first place. It sounds dangerous for the body even for men who just get it in their intestines. It's obviously not safe and should be banned
Anyone else notice there is no conclusion? Just blah, blah, blah. Where is her review of the rule breaking ride? Was she injured?
I thought the rule was to protect women who are pregnant. Never been on one of these so news to me about water wedgies lol.
I'm a barefoot warerskier, we go 40mph. I use a barefoot wetsuit made for it. Barefoot shorts sound like the answer for this slide! I would not go without them.
Binitha, did you have a word minimum. This could have been a decent story, but your avoidance of the lead while reading some points multiple times dilutes any power it could have had. You made this as tedious as you could it seems, and the add scrolls (not your fault of course) made it even worse.
They don't ban women for sexism reasons. They ban women for safety reasons. Duh.
We get it, you're tough. Part of being tough is listening to common sense
The way I read the sign isn't females can't ride, it's u can't go down in normal position, u must cross r arms and legs.
so you're going to get your hoohaa caught somewhere or something? (just kidding i know you dont)
Tightly cross your legs and tighten your booty muscles as if trying to prevent entry like when you don't want entry there by accident from someone
US entitled idiocy is apparently spreading to other countries now 🙄 guys, don't be like us in the US.
I just would start to sell panties out of poolnoodles, like a clown making animals out of balloons. Surely men don't like blue balls or enemas either.
If you can effectively clench tight everything below the waist when you ride this slide you should be ok. Clench your b******e like you're trying to hold in a fart and contract your vaginal muscles like you're holding in a p**s. The force of the water is going to be working against you and that's the danger. I wonder, is there no clothing that would be protective? Rubber underpants that would block water from blasting up people's bums? I once went water skiing and when I had my first big fall on the water I got a serious lake enema. I had to try to hold in the loads of water that had blasted into my poopchute. Once on land I struggled to the bathroom where a sign on the door said "number ones only" (meaning no pooping). Like seriously!? Since I was technically pissing out of my bum, I was in the clear. Anyway, who's verifying that!? I've not water skied since. I'd probably not go on that slide either for fear that my clenching game wasn't up to snuff.
Sheer idiocy. Waterslide enema aside, there’s worse that could happen. My mother went waterskiing without a proper wetsuit as a teen, got such a bad infection she needed a radical bilateral salpingectomy. (Removal of fallopian tubes) Meaning at the tender age of 16, she was told she’d never be a mother, something she desperately wanted. If it weren’t for IVF being invented 10 years later, I literally wouldn’t exist.
It is dangerous because the water can go up into our vagina with horrendous force, right past the cervix, cause a prolapse, and really mess us up. It has happened to other women. Glad there was a warning and someone sensible to realize such things. It isn't sexist. The "good time comment" is just silly. It is a completely different type of risk. Sure it could end you if it is that bad, but also completely change your whole life. Seriously fellow ladies, we are smarter then this! Remember we live longer for a reason.
I saw an article on how a woman had to have surgery because it went up her vaginal canal and seriously hurt her. Her legs were closed, crossed.
Seriously though, guys aren't afraid of getting an unwelcome colonoscopy?
Fore: emagin sticking a tiny tube up your pee hole then attaching it to a pressure washer before turning it on! Prolly not a good idea,no?
So only women get enemamize on this ride?? Men have aholes too.
So men don't get enemaed on this slide? They have aholes too.
Similar water force to tubing behind a jetboat, I'll bet. Never again!
This was most likely publicity stunt back by both her and the park, she obviously is a woman and if that's the rules most likely security or other staff would have stopped he before she got to to of the slide lol
No woman allowed unless you are a BADASS cliff diver....go girl but be careful and keep those legs crossed tight
Worst article ever. Lots and lots of buildup with absolutely no payoff I down voted this trash. Thanks for wasting my time. Next time, publish the final outcome of what you're writing about, you hack!
Dani Moffet. The sphincter muscle takes care of the rear end, if you have a sphincter muscle on your vagina you will be fine on this water slide. Quite an irresponsible act by that woman, thinking only of herself
It's something would have happened to her I guess it would have been the water parks fall right nobody understands and listens
why don’t they just fix the water slide instead of banning a particular sex? because my butts too juicy i can’t go down this slide? i do not understand.
The problem would be the super high velocity douche of the vagina, cervix, uterus and female bladder. The men would still get the enema but you'll have to agree they have a much safer set up for the other bits
You can leave out uterus and bladder there. Take an anatomy course.
Load More Replies...Solution? How about turning around and go headfirst, then everyone's holes are protected. The result is a win/win for everyone and demonstrate the rule of natural selection undeniably.
Men have rectums also. They have outer genitals (penis and testicles) that can be damaged. Isn't it a problem for them, too?
I legitimately broke my hymen on one of these water slides when I was in fourth grade. It wasn't till I was older that I realized what had happened.
I don't love that there's a guys-only slide because seems out of touch with the times and indirectly supporting old systems that still favour men, but that's a much more complex argument for another day. At least there's a warning though, and disregarding the warning *is* , in fact, the exact definition of mocking safety regulations.
I don't think the safety issue is about water slide enemas as much as water slide douches. Water forced into the birth canal at high pressure can kill a woman.
I love how this post explained why it's a male only slide. 🙄 Lol. I also love the people defending the nonsensical logic. You guys do realize men also have holes, as well as scrotums, right? If the water pressure is that bad, then it is certainly not safe against a man's Bunghole, urethra or his balls. Also, fun fact, the vag is tougher than a b******e and so many people get water slide enemas up their butt, sooooo what now? 😮💨
Do you think a company would go out of its way to limit access to 50% of all users without having some sound legal or medical justification for it? You can also cup balls, or do like the drawing shows, and it will completely protect the man's urethra as well. I think buttholes are in less danger due to the angle of entry. A vaginal canal is facing the water pressure head-on. But I think you should try it for everyone and prove the various consulted experts wrong.
Load More Replies...People really need to wear sunscreen. It's not a joke. The sun can be very dangerous.
True, but not really the issue in this article.
Load More Replies...I don't understand why only women are (apparently) subject to "water slide enema". Why not men too? We both have buttholes in approximately the same location.
The article did not explain it at all. You can take a jet of water into the r****m without injury. It literally shreds your cervix and uterus.
Load More Replies...I'm pretty sure if you keep your legs crossed it's fine, especially if you are an athlete. It's silly people who go down and can't hold their legs closed that run into issues.
There's one sure fire way to avoid the "enema" from happening. If she's a daredevil, go head first!
She said she didn't want to mock the rules well that's a lie. She thought she knew better and the rules didn't apply to her. Her video with YOLO showed she didn't care. She would probably be the first to make a claim if something went wrong. There's rules for a reason and its not there to p**s anyone off. People like her are just clout chasers.
The sign of a real journalist would be to end your article with what happened after she slid instead of filling it with quotes from past events.
We did not get her comments after. All this and no comment from her. Fire someone please.
It would be like a forced douche from a high pressure hose. You feminists are wanting to complain they are trying to protect you from that?
If screaming down a metal slide on your a**e at 50 mph is on your bucket list, simply wear the proper attire, like say, a pair of neoprene shorts (like the kind made for jet skiing/power lifting) over your bottoms, and you're golden. As far as the OuTrAgE is concerned, everyone ought to know by now how clickbait works. The more polarizing the topic, the more engagement an article receives, and NO WOMEN ALLOWED! is hella polarizing these days. I mean, really y'all... 🙄
I'm guessing there's a liability issue if a woman who doesn't know she's pregnant loses her baby from going down this slide. And by prohibiting women they don't have to decide whether a woman is visibly pregnant or just chubby. You'd think a pregnant woman wouldn't risk it, but there are so many stupid people out there.
Ugh, why are people so easily riled up? It doesn't say "no women." It's clearly saying women shouldn't go down in that position, for obvious reasons, and should keep their legs crossed and arms over their breast's. Nothing sexist here.
She should have some consequence handed to her for ignoring the rules it's not funny
So half the commenters can't get past the rectal enema joke, while true isn't the point of the article. Also makes me worried for the collective abilities mentally of people. There are a few great comments who actually get it. I'm not for nor against a slide like this. If I walked up to anything labeled for women only I also would just keep walking. It's literally that simple. People of any gender or something they perceive as against THEM will read what they want and take what they want from something like this to further their agenda. I'm all for equality, but again if it said no men should ride or do xyz as may cause bodily harm well I'm good and keep going to the next thing. Well aware will get down voted a ton. Kinda makes me laugh. Actually it makes me sad bc people can't handle the truth and or reality anymore. Signing off as a proud father of a lesbian daughter who is in the military. Only 23 and smarter than most of the commenters I have seen.
Yes... If i saw an amusement park ride with a sign that said "women only; due to high risk of testicular injury, no men allowed"..... I'm not going to scream about sexism, claim women can have testicles too, then demand to ride. Nooo, I'm going to walk on over to a more testicle friendly ride and go to bed that night with happy healthy testes
Load More Replies...I'm honestly not sure why all the butthurt or maybe vagina hurt? females there are on here over a slide that y'all are not supposed to go on because of safety. Obviously they have that rule for a reason. I'm guessing they have probably had issues in the past and don't want the liability. That doesn't mean it has to be tore down. Men can obviously still go down safely. One thing for men only and y'all get your panties in a knot. Get over it.
It doesn't say the reason women aren't allowed. That's why. Without context, it appears to be sexist.
Load More Replies...The fact that she said she "didn't mean to mock safety regulations" while deliberately disregarding safety regulations and posting it for a wide crowd to see is just ridiculous. Women aren't allowed to ride that slide for legitimate safety reasons, men met get water in the a**s if they go down, but coordinated water being pushed at high speeds into the vagina could do serious damage to the cervix. She should not have posted this video, it sends a dangerous message that safety regulations posted at parks and on equipment are fine to ignore
Show me where it explains the reason. The average vacationer isn't going to think it's for safety reasons, because there is absolutely no indication that's why.
Load More Replies...Aww. Your d**k is too small for sex..... Someone out there will love you someday. Don't give up hope. Men with micropenis find love every day....
