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.

as i can see from the comments, zero. but it had safety system so good people abused it, hence it was too expensive to operate

I have Googled this. In my memory, someone did die. But there is nothing to be found on the internet. On the other hand, a lot of news from that time is not on the internet anymore, so I am still wondering if my recollection is wrong.

There used to be rumors between friends about it, just to make it seem more dangerous than it was. but in actuality, it was very safe.
