Spinning Playground Slide

This playground slide in Yamaguchi prefecture looks pretty cool:

Apparently the company that manufactured the spinning slide went out of business shortly after the slide was installed at that park, so it’s the only slide of its kind in Japan.

Well, at least they put the cage on top BEFORE some kid went flying off it…

Wow, this spinning slide looks amazing! I’s really like to see it! But sadly I think it would make me feel a little woozy!

That looks freaking awesome! Makes me wish I was a kid again.

Why are they spinning it the wrong way? When they spin it clockwise, everyone has trouble sliding down. There are a few brief seconds in the video when they spin it counterclockwise, and everyone slides perfectly.
