Wish we’d had one of [these](http://theinternettoday.net/videos/gigantic-snowman-slide/) when I was young. ---

Way cool! Hey, that guy put a _lot_ of time and effort into it. I wonder how much he could make if he charged admission?? ---

> [@tdn](#): > > Why when you were young? > > I want one right now! My parents gave my daughter a Slip’N’Slide when she was a grade schooler. My husband set it up, and watched her and her friends play on it, and decided that HE wanted to do it, too, and hang the recommended upper weight limit. He was great at running and flopping on his belly and sliding. However, at about 140 pounds, he was too heavy to stop efficiently at the end of the slide…and he got a serious grass burn on his belly. ---
