Wild ride: Man sustains multiple injuries after flying off side of a water slide

A cringe-worthy video of a Texas man flying over the side of a water slide will have you second-guessing your next trip to the water park.

David Salmon posted this video of his unfortunate ride down a backyard water slide at a rental house near Austin, Texas. The slow motion video shows Salmon speeding down the slide until reaching a sudden turn, carrying slightly too much speed.

That’s the shocking moment when he suddenly flies up over the edge and down to the rocky hillside resting ten feet below the slide.

“Too dang old to be going down water slides. Fell off this one that is over a rocky cliff. First time in an ambulance,” he wrote on the Facebook post.

Salmon received numerous injuries from his fall including a broken arm, several broken ribs and multiple scratches and bruises around his body.

Speaking to Fox News 4, Salmon described the excruciatingly painful moment.

“After I fell, I was sitting straight up, like, ‘Oh! I can stand up. I can be fine,’” he said. “Then my body just couldn’t do anything.”

But why did he post his wild water slide ride video to Facebook for the world to see?

“I posted it so my friends could have a laugh or just know that I was ok,” he said. “I’m not one of those people who loves attention. So I don’t want to be famous because of this freak accident.”
