Water Slide Vagina Injury

177 replies

Has anyone ever heard of this happening?
I follow a lady on Instagram called babiesafter35 and I am absolutely traumatised by this phenomenon she has described.

Basically if you go down a water slide there's a chance that the force of the water can enter your vagina and cause severe damage to internal organs, haemorrhage or even death! I am sure it's incredibly rare but I had never heard of this before. Anyone else?

Can happen to women of all ages including young girls.

Never going on a flume again 😱

Never heard of this - which shows how rare it must be. Think how many women go on water rides all over the world, all the time ….

Never heard of it.

✍️ avoid water slides and a big penis.

Unlikely on a water slide. I've heard of it happening when water skiing.

Not sure but having sex in water apparantly can do a similar thing!

Always cross your legs on a water slide.

I didn’t know this I did recently hear of someone falling off a jetski and a jet of bibles went up her and ripped her intestines

Not a myth,it happened to me.luckily not too severe but once I got to the pool I had the wind knocked out of me so went to toilets for some privacy and found out I'd been cut down there and had some soreness and bleeding for a few days.

One of the reasons they made us wear shorts for waterskiing...

I’ve heard this before…ditto with waterskiing so they insist on you wearing shorts! Personally given how far up the gusset of a swimming costume gets pushed on a slide I would always wear swim shorts anyway!!!

Apparently a water park in Germany has made its fastest slide men only due to the number of internal injuries to women and girls.

Someone at work years ago was going to go waterskiing and was talking about wanting to avoid such injuries as it was her honeymoon. It sort of makes sense for it to be possible. High speed on water?
