PSA: do NOT use the waterslides. My family booked a cabin this past summer. We went immediately to the pool. Decided to try the waterslide. I read all of the instructions to make sure there were no restrictions. Went down and was almost immediately flipped out of the tube due to excessive water pressure. I went into the pool at the bottom knees first because i was flipped onto my stomach. The pool at the bottom is at most 3 ft deep. I landed directly on my knees. I had to pull myself out of the water because the lifeguards didnt notice. I will say once she did notice, she tried to help me. She was not prepared to deal with something like this but she was so sweet and kind. The lifeguards let my family pull a golf cart up to the gate and tried to assist me to the cart. I did end up at a hospital to make sure it wasnt broken. It was dislocated. My family had to ASK to fill out an incident report. We have never been contacted regarding the incident or any followup. I was out of work for 10 weeks, and its still not back to 100%. Multiple other guests my family spoke to said they were sore and had bruising from going down these slides. While I waited for the golf cart, another child kept having issues getting stuck in the middle of the other slide. Overall, I do not recommend using the waterslides for anyone unless youre prepared for medical bills. Had I gone in any different way I could have broken my neck or legs or face. Just please use extreme caution and consider if its worth the missed work, long recovery, and growing bills from missing work and going to a Dr 2-3 times a week.
ETA: taking this seriously would have occurred 6 months ago when the incident occurred and the report was made. Im so happy to hear my lifelong struggles (including accelerating a knee replacement) and financial stress can help you write your new training manual. Make sure you give me knee a shout out during new employee orientation and customer incident procedures.
