Did you know that slides are the most dangerous playground equipment for children? Most of the injuries on slides aren't caused by kids but by parents trying to go down with them. Many parents think that if they slide down a slide with their kid in their lap, it will be safer, but that's how kids' limbs can get stuck on the side of the slide and break. Fun stuff, I know. Basically, a good rule of thumb is that if a kid is too young to go down a slide by themselves, they shouldn't be going at all.

Unfortunately, not every parent has the common sense not to go down a giant slide holding their baby's hand, putting them at serious risk bodily harm. One mother decided that would be the idea way for her and her baby to enjoy an indoor amusement park, and it's simultaneously terrifying and hilarious to behold.
