gizmodo.com — This German water slide is the definition of terror. Rather than starting out sitting down and sliding into the steep part, you start standing up on a trap door that they pull out from underneath you. It drops you straight down

It would pull out the single hair that got caught. For enough hair to notice to get pulled out she'd have to tie it in a damn knot before she dropped and even then she'd just hang there.

the water flowwing backwards would have a breaking effect then... that could be dangerous.

Sigh... you've entirely missed the point...Again.. perhaps my usage of terminology wasn't exactly perfect.. but I'm not writing a god damned paper... I'm trying to communicate an idea with other people on the f**king internet. You clearly realize that I'm referring to the momentum that, when the person's body begins to change direction as a result of the curving tube and as a result of the properties of inertia, causes the human body to remain on the outside wall of the tube as it continues around the loop. Why do you need to nit pick if you understood? You don't. My guess is it just makes you feel superior or something.Oh... and you're wrong, gallons of water occupy both a volume AND an area at the same time... as does EVERYTHING that isn't some theoretical 2 dimensional object. The water would COVER the same area as a human body, even though it wouldn't fill the same space or have the same volume. Just like a pool can cover the same area as a large tarp. "B-but... one's got liquid in it!" Sorry but that is irrelevant.Oh and no even if the volume was not constant does not mean it would pool up... In fact, if you wanna be technical (and you clearly do), if the water's volume inside the tube is not constant that means it is increasing as the result of additional watter being added to the tube. It can not be reduced unless their is a leak. There would be no drains in such a slide as that would defeat the whole purpose of the water being there to begin with. However, As the water moves around the loop some of it will inevitably fail to make the entire loop... instead dripping down into the beginning of the loop. It will not , however, pool up. This is because the water dripping from the top of the lop would once again become part of the stream of water at the bottom and would be pushed up and over again... never mind the large human bodies that come through from time to time to push the excess water up and over with their greater... wait for it... momentum.As for physics class... clearly you could do with less of it. You seem to think the terms are more important than the concepts they represent

Looks terrifying, but what a rush.
