One word of wisdom about water slides. I used to ride “Der Stuka” at Wet ‘n Wild in Orlando (which is “only” 23 m tall) back when I was stationed on the USS Disney World there. The collective wisdom was that you needed to clench while sliding lest the ride turn into “Das Enema” . ‘Nuff said.

Expanciate! Potential to kinetic, I don’t get it.
Converting elevation (the height of the water slide) to kinetic energy (the slider in motion) pursuant to the First Law of Thermodynamics (conservation of energy).
