I gave this event some thought, and I'm getting wary of this.
First of all, Slip N Slide requires a hose. Any body got a hose long enough to reach to the beach? Sure we can use sea water, but running water is a little bit better than dumping buckets of water in the slip and slide.
Second...does anyone realize that high speeds; plus hot, searing sand; plus bare skin equals a bloody mess?
It seems everyone has thrown caution to the wind...and that's my job.
buckets of water will be enough as long as it's kept wet.
Plus for stuff like this I'm Janine's test dummy. lol
but sea water is slippery from the salt (and little jellies that have been floating around). Have you ever tried grabbing someone who is wet from ocean water? slippery like an eel. Plus we will bring a couple of items to help us slide along if necessary.
i'm not sure exactly how fast YOU can run, but i wouldn't classify this as high speed. and a little sand rash never killed anyone. besides, we had already decided to bring some inner tubes to use instead just in case of that scenario.
I will say though, that to my knowledge, this is not a tested and proven form of good times. i don't know for sure how well it will work. but we're willing to pioneer it. and if it doesn't work, abandon it for beach volleyball and some rounds of "super eat it" and "fat mermaid"
