Has a waterslide ever scared you?

I for one find water slides for frightening now than coasters since there aren't any restraints.

Of the ones I've been on Summit Plummet, SFNE's Cannonball Falls (Green), and Aquaboggan's Stealth have made me contemplate whether or not riding.

Cannonball Falls- first vertical drop speed slide
Summit Plummet- the sheer height and steepness
Stealth- seemed near-vertical from the top of the tower

Well, as someone who is afraid of heights... ABSOULTELY. Another thing is that one time when I was younger I was at Kings Dominion with a friend just after Hurricane Reef (aka waterworks) opened, he went on those really tall slides, there's four of them, 2 are very high and the other 2 are somewhat shorter. But anyway he scratched his back big time and it was too painful for him to ride anything for the day.

^ I assume you're talking about Pipeline Peak.

Yeah SFNE has one that's pretty similar if its Pipeline Peak and the tall, freefall one is always comfortable, but the enclosed, twisting ones can be hard on the back.
