Top Reasons A Slip ‘N Slide Is A Bad Idea For Adults

August 1, 2019

Slip 'N Slides can be fun. Unless you're an adult. There are a few other reasons why they are a bad idea.

The main reason you’re doing it is not for fun… it’s for an Instagram boomerang video

Someone thought it was a good idea to lubricate the Slip ‘N Slide with beer

Because the original Slip ‘N Slide is very short, your friend combined three different ones to increase speed and your chance to get hurt

Your bathing suit will fall off

You’re more worried about the slide ruining the grass underneath the tarp than anyone getting really hurt

Your shoulder hurt getting out of bed… what harm could diving head first into a slippery channel do?

Because having a bruise on your face from a Slip ‘N Slide is going to sound like a totally made up lie at work the next day

Your self-tanner will rub off and even though everyone knows you put on self-tanner, you will look like a leper

When you were setting it up, even your kids warned you that you’re probably going to get hurt
