Water Parks Question: Do not do this slide if...

[Duckiedee]

My hubby has some back problems. He knows not to do Summit Plummet.

He did fine on all slides, etc at BB last time we went that were rated under 48". (Or whatever the next height restriction is over 44".)

This time we will be doing the 'bigger, faster slides' as my daughter is tall enough.

Are there any, besides Summit Plummet, that you would recommend he avoid at either water park.

Thanks!

Well, I have a bad back, and I do them anyway. I LOVE Summit Plummet! Most of the others shouldn't be so bad. There is Humunga Cowabunga at Typhoon Lagoon that is very similar to Summit Plummet, but not quite is high. They're basically the same though.

I stay off the big body slides with my bad back but have never had a problem on any other slide at any water park anywhere including BB and TL.

Thank you, but I'm not sure what you mean by "Big Body Slides?" Could you give me a little more detail please?

I have back problems and slide SP every trip. It's a rite of passage and it doesn't hurt my back.

Summit Plummet is awesome - it stings the skin (a lot) more than anything.

I mean like Summet Plummet and humunga cowabunga at typhoon lagoon. Those really tall ones tend to hurt my back on seams and also sometimes you bounce a big and hit your back on the slide going down. Body slides that wind around and don't have the big drop I can usually tolerate unless the seams aren't very smooth
