Holy shit man, doesnt that thing have an emergency stop? Those chairs looked like they were getting ground up in the wheels.

That was pretty insane, just hope nobody was injured, or worse killed.

That's a big slab, gnarly shit man, fantastic that no one was hurt.

The lady in purple at 0:15 looked oblivious to the ginormous slide behind her, didn't she?

I'm impressed that the slide peeled off the snow all the way down to brown dirt!
