This is interesting in the way they went about creating the fun factor. Either way you look at it that's some serious air and speed.

Ouch. I can see someone breaking their necks in that one.

The slide looks like fun though.

The Jackass team have got a lot to answer for !
I reckon the water is pretty hard when hitting it at that speed !

Even at 50 I'd give it a go, however I'd want a trial run at about three quarters speed to sample the landing hit, then depending on that result I'd ramp it up.
