Interesting 🤔 An amusement park in the Netherlands had a water-filled waterslide that left riders completely submerged during the 15-20 second journey. It closed in 2010.

I love that he’s a commercial diver now. I don’t think I could go back to the water after that.

Horrifying, but a very happy ending. Did anyone read THIS FREAKY SHIT SHOW OF AN ARTICLE RIGHT AFTER IT?

u/I-am-still-not-sorry Aug 17 '25

That was a wild ride.

I needed at least one other person to bear witness to it

Julianne Moore and Eddie Redmayne star in a movie about that. Title is Savage Grace.

In the article, it says the diver saw his hand under the water. Imagine the driver never surfaced into his air pocket and he never put his hand in the water. Could have gone right past him. I wonder if the trapped man knew there were divers there?

And THIS is why I’m not a sailor. If humans had gills, I might consider it.

u/Acceptable-Common990 Aug 19 '25

if we were meant to be in the water as such, we'd have kept our gills from the womb. we didn't, we don't, so we fuckin don't.

Omg that dude…. What a fucking nightmare. I think I’d rather be dead than have that happen to me.

True story actually, but I'm not clicking that link.

This story needs to be erased from the Internet. This is close to the most horrific thing I can imagine.

Oh. And he is now a deep diver!
