The 7 story High, High Speed SlideI was away the last weekend. 3 of my cousins and myself went on this. I was 2nd to go. It took 7 mins to get to the top and 5 sec to reach the bottom. When I sat on the slide to get myself ready, I realised something about myself that day. I've lost all sense of fear. It was a good self awareness slide I should say.
"Cross your hands over your chest and keep your feet crossed as you slide. When you are ready, you may go". I was on my way and being me, I decided to let go of my hands and uncross my feet and I experienced a momentary lift, off the slide. Even then, the fear of being thrown off the slide didnt cross my mind. Is this a result of life's experiences?
Im trying to figure out the theory behind the arms and feet crossing. Is it CG, air resistance due to speed or is it just pinning yourself down thus causing less movement? Let me find out......
