Water Slide Vagina Injury

179 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 😱

I’m glad other posters have had the same problem that I have - the alfresco water slide enema - my DH thinks I’m a freak! I will no longer go on the fast or steep ones, the last time in Cyprus I had to dash to the loo to release all the water!

Mind you, I thought embarrassment was the worst that could happen, but reading about some of these entries I’ve got off very lightly in the past 😬.

Back in the 70's ( yes, I'm oldGrin) the only danger from a Waterside was getting a slight concussion from bumping your head on the fast trip down the shute...little did we no that could be the least of our problemsShock

Yes . Some of these entries left people feeling a lot lighter.

I 'lost' a tampon on a near vertical flume. Took some getting out...

This thread is both stomach churning and side splitting. That poor girl on the jet ski, is sounds horrific but I can't stop laughing at the typos 😳 Never going near a water park ever again.

Sweetpea1532 · 23/07/2021 21:11

@AnneKipanki, @iklboo, did you see what @MrsMackesy did up there with her post about her "hole orchestra" ? And I don't believe it was a grammar mistake or auto correct for one moment, Mrs. M!Grin

@AlCalavicci..I know you enjoy waterparks and stunt water-skiing so you'd better check this out this thread right away!

When I was about 15, I went down a water slide in Bulgaria and the force of the slide sent water right up my bottom 😬 it was so painful. I had to go straight to the toilet and push as if I was about to poop to get the water out. I could barely walk to the toilet. Being 15 aswell, I was so embarrassed and didn't even tell anyone. I completely believe water slides could cause some internal damage :(

I've ended up with the gusset of my bikini full up with sand and stones after going on a water slide.
Thank god for a hefty gusset.

How did it get sand and stones in it from a water slide?

I've no idea.
Perhaps stoney people went on it and shed some when their sphincter tore?
Some of the open air slides are not the cleanest.

Halloaten · 23/07/2021 22:25

Enema water slide victim here too. Trying to hold the filthy pool water in whilst doing the walk of shame to the toilets is a trauma I'll never forget. I still suspect it to be the catalyst to my ibs

Old testament or New?

If they went that far up there, I'd say they were most likely copies of the Apocrypha.

JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff · 23/07/2021 22:50

So are we all saying that basically, water parks are like a colonoscopy but without the 18 month waiting list?

thereisonlyoneofme · 24/07/2021 16:05

I hope it wasnt a piano recital

Ginandtonics · 24/07/2021 17:24

I have heard this is why you should wear a wetsuit when waterskiing but didn't realise injuries could be really severe.

ItsAllGoneToShiz · 24/07/2021 17:34

On a girls holiday one of my friends got bounced off of a blow up high speed banana boat, she hit the water flat down onto her bottom & as a result water rushed up her lady bits & bottom causing quite painful ripping & water gushing out of her bottom for a good few days. Poor girl was in agony

Lisad1231981 · 24/07/2021 17:36

I once heard about this woman who went on a certain ride at Sian park in Tenerife. The force of the water ripped her womb and nearly killed her! We go there on family holidays and have seen said slide. There’s a reason you are told to cross your legs Shock

imnottoofussed · 24/07/2021 17:36

I read the jet ski story too. Shocking.

RightYesButNo · 24/07/2021 17:41

@MrsMackesy

Yes, my hole orchestra might have been in trouble *@Sweetpea1532*
I can understand that. After DJ has a few at the pub, his hole orchestra seems deafening and endless.

Without jokes though, you’re right to draw attention to this, OP, based on how many hadn’t heard of it or thought it must be urban legend.

swimlyn · 24/07/2021 17:48

My solution is easy. Gaffer tape/gorilla tape whatever it’s called where you are.

30cm/12inch strip applied all the way front to back. It doesn’t matter what you wear over this, as nothing gets through.

An added bonus is, when getting changed afterwards you get a free waxing of sorts.
