Behind the scenes of Discovery Channel's Prototype This from the Backyard Waterslide Simulator episode. This video was taking during the many days of control system testing and tweaking of our 30-foot computer-controlled waterslide simulator. The system had a series of hydraulics to lift, tilt, and spin the simulator. I still can't believe it actually worked!

  • @tibiaroxxxx Ok physics professor, explain to me how an object that is stationary has any gravitational forces exerted onto it... the only thing you would feel is the slide trying to pull you in the direction of travel, But since there is a lubricant (Water) this would be minimal to none depending on how fat you are.

  • @11kungfu11 You would still feel the G'S as you call it. Learn some physics.
