A couple of things that made the officer go flying : 1) His Hi Vis vest is very slippery and has tiny grooves that allow air to pass through quickly 2) The officer's centre of gravity changed at exactly the moment the slides gradient descent was at its max so he flew out with no drag because his weightiest part of his body was not held down to anything whereas if he slid down it normally his legs and buttocks would stick to the slide causing significant drag .

It has to do with mass. My dad went on a slide made for 8 year olds when I was a kid and he flew into the air and cracked his skull open. Turns out, heavy adults go down slides faster with more inertia than children. My dad got some stitches but survived, btw. The way I described it made it sound like he died but he's still alive.

[@jesterdude420]

finally! this fellow gets it

[@jasonpeng5798]

That doesn’t make much sense. Gravity accelerates all things equally. Heavier adults do not go down slides faster, that’s like saying bigger bowling balls fall faster which Galileo proved wrong off the leaning tower of Pisa. He may have more inertia due to having higher mass but he has proportionally more bone density and strength so it makes no sense that your dad would crack his skull open if he rode down a slide the same way a kid did it. They should come out at the same speed and there’s no reason he would go flying and you wouldn’t.

[@eschcal9839]

Its those metal slides, man. Those get so frictionless and worn down smooth, we had some real nasty ones that every kid avoided back in the day. Everyone learned the hard way why that part of the play area was abandoned. It may as well of been a frozen over floor of a moving truck.

[@Rainkit]

​​​@@jasonpeng5798Its not so much about gravity but about inertia. Slides don't just make you go down. There are sections meant to slow you down and speed you up. If you are too large they don't work. Which is also why overweight adults or underweight children may find themselves flung off waterslides. Or an example in this video, the long flat lip at the bottom of the slide that is meant to stop children doesn't do anything.

I think its just gravity. The slide is desinged for children between 20-50kg. The officer is a chunky adult with 80-100kg. Thy why he shot out lile a fucking rocket :D

[@OnlyTwoShoes]

What happened is the mesh polymer in his hi-vis-vest reduced the friction. Think of the mesh as little air pockets, so there's less overall contact with the slide. That combined with his adult body weight to accelerate him much faster than a child would. Edit: So many 'professional physicists' in this comments section quoting false facts. First off, free fall states that all things being equal, objects at different mass will fall under gravity at the same rate. This is true. However, all things, but mass have to be equal. A 100lb sphere will fall at the same rate as a 1lb sphere, because everything else is equal. However a 100lbs cube will not fall at the same rate as a 1lb sphere because all things are not equal. Surface area effects drag, which is why I didn't say mass, I said adult body and weight. What I really should have said was size, because that is based on shape and surface area. A grown man skydiving can tuck in his arms and legs to accelerate to the ground faster than another man who has his limbs spread out. Friction is the limiting factor in all cases of gravity based acceleration. Since air is not the only form of friction in this case, surface area and weight distribution make a difference in acceleration.

[@christiancavelltaylor442]

Acceleration due to gravity is unaffected by the mass of an object. Him being a grown man made no difference

[@tomrejor4842]

​@@christiancavelltaylor442it can make a difference not it terms of speed gain but on the contrary in terms of speed loss. Being heavier means more energy which entails that you need more friction to slow down that you would have required if you are not as heavy, which can definitely mean more speed at the end of the tunnel. Although I have no idea how significant that is in the context of a slide.

[@lookissjaxin]

“It’s not like sliding is a skill you have to develop “ 😂😂😂😂

[@Nathan46000]

Here’s my little analysis: in view of the full slide there is a steep incline at the top, looking closely enough you will see that the turn to go towards the exit of the slide is not visible, implying that it’s a sharp turn which in a dark metal slide is completely invisible. The officer must have hit the side of the slide when he turned and tumbled gaining more momentum the further down he went, resulting in what ever loony tunes bullshit he experienced.

[@addictionsucks8848]

Judging by how tall and the general shape of the structure I'm going to say I think he just went too fast and it tossed him around. And I think the reason that happened was because of his outfit. He had that bright vest, and the material those are made out of basically have no friction on smooth surfaces. My guess is that he laid all the way down and had much less traction than is expected. Like when you go down those slides at the county fair on burlap.

Personally I think it was the High-Vis jacket being a material that took away a lot of friction. Also it's possible that the officer swung into the slide by grabbing onto the top and swinging himself in. The only time I ever got close to that speed on a slide was when the slide was icy and I had put my coat waterproof side down and got a running start to slide down on that. This slide looks pretty steep so it doesn't surprise me he is moving that fast.

These slides are probably created with kids in mind, not adults, so the physics change when the mass going down is 5-10x. Also could have been wearing clothing that was very low friction, hitting that corner can definitely cause someone to flip upside down like that. I've had something similar happen on a waterslide, started out normal, hit the first curve and flipped over upside down and I almost drowned due to sliding down the fucker on my stomach, face down, legs first, all the water funneling up my nasal passages.

Police uniforms are made of polyester. So yeah, very low-friction.

[@papaspaulding]

kids could have also waxed it. we used to wax metal slides as kids with a candle or just scribbling on it with a crayon as you go down. it makes the slide extremely slippery no matter what you're wearing, if anything it makes it too slippery if you keep doing it and even the smallest of slides will have you shooting off the end like this at high speed

[@AlexionGame]

I pass by that slide everyday going into work, and I still could not tell you how he picked up such terminal velocity on that bad baby

[@GiuseppeGaetanoSabatelli]

Couple of things: There's friction on the surface. Obviously the more surface area you have, the more friction *possibly*, but more importantly is that the more mass you have (often much much larger multiplier than your surface area) the less of the ratio of friction to your momentum. Because of this, the more massive slider is going down closer to freefall, but also as the slide curves, depending on the curve, it can actually accelerate you *faster* than freefall. Like a ski jump. If the curve is progressive than the acceleration can be massive. Not a huge deal for a little kid who is lighter and slowed down more by friction, but for a man it's a cannon.

My theory: he discovered a method for going down really fast as a child. (Maybe a run and jump situation), and now he uses it as some sort of party trick as an adult anytime he's within the vicinity of a slide because he thinks it makes him cool and quirky or something. This would also explain why he was going down the slide in the first place. Also, this was probably his first time on this slide and perhaps the last turn was a bit sharper than he had calculated for and that's why he came out all discombobulated.

Guys, the reflective vest is way too slick on polished metal. Also with his utility belt on, all of the stuff sticking out minimized his area of contact with the slide so he had very little drag. Have you ever used just your shoulder blades and heels on a water slide instead of your whole body? You will go Way faster.

[@Ninjujitsu]

Momentum = Mass × Velocity He entered the slide quickly, probably by holding the area above the slide and swinging his legs in first. He hit the curve and flipped as you hypothesized, Charles, and careened out as shown.

My guess is he curled in a ball and put all his weight on his back. That vest was probably polyester and other plastics, and really lowered the friction so he went down way too fast, causing him to tumble the way he did. Back when I worked in fast food, we had a kiddie playground with a plastic slide. Not huge by any means, it was only like one story high. But after hours we took the large plastic food trays they used to use to hand out food (nowadays they just throw it in a bag regardless if you stay or leave) and slid down riding the trays like mini snow sleds, and dear lord was it bone-breakingly fast.

True story: in my town when I was a kid a grown woman went down a kids slide, shattered her knees, sued the city and WON, and the playground had to be completely redone, ie they took away the fun stuff, and yes there was a sign added about the equipment is meant for kids, so adults were at their own risk. Later on my friend married her son, and the whole family has spent the last 30 yrs trying to figure out how to sue places for money, cuz no one wants to work. My friend's now ex injured himself at a job and tried to sue them, claiming it would affect his ability to work in the future. It was denied and all he got was his treatment paid for. His injury: he cut his thumb with with a pizza slicer - even his job cast doubt on it being accidental. He got some stitches, physical therapy was not needed, he never lost permenant use of his thumb.
