Slide closes in Spain a day after opening for being too dangerous

A 38-metre-long, steep slide linking two streets in a southern Spanish town has been closed pending safety checks a day after it opened to the public. The slide in Estepona, on the Costa del Sol, is intended to give residents of all ages a quick way to travel between the streets, which sit at very different levels.

20 gedachten over “Slide closes in Spain a day after opening for being too dangerous

  1. A metal slide in the hot Spanish sun. Nice! 👍🏼😳

  2. Whos the dumb inventer ? Slide has to be straight with this design theres no enclosed protection to prevent people falling off from the corners of the sharp turns lol

  3. See some of the African engineering immigrants got jobs then……..

  4. The bends are too sharpe and the angle means you can come down too quick and go off the edge onto concrete. The designer needs his/her head tested 🤪

  5. Guys, really, why are you so cautios? When Jackass do something reckless, you say they're genius and funny. I would give some credit to the builders. They have brought the Jackass' world to a Spanish city centre.

  6. Health and safety were having a siesta when this was installed

  7. First couple of people removed the protective film on the way down.

  8. I’d still rather take my chance on this than stand on a Spanish balcony.

  9. Surely it closed for being too dangerous not for being opened?

  10. Why did the chicken cross the road? To slide to the other road.
