Ever wondered what it would be like to dive off a 14-storey building?
Ok, that sounds a little suicidal, but that’s the kind of sensation you
get when you’re sliding down Insano, the highest water slide in the world.
Part of a water park near the Brazilian city of Fortaleza, Insano is
known as one of the most thrilling water park attractions in the world.
Constructed in 1989, it still holds the record for the highest water
slide on Earth, at 41 meters high. That’s as tall as a 14-storey
building, in case you were wondering. What makes Insano “the most
extreme equipment of this type on the planet” (according to the beach
park’s official site) is the very steep slide that really lets gravity
do its number on anyone crazy enough to try it. Apparently, the whole
decent takes just 4 to 5 seconds but during that time you can reach
speeds of up to 105 km/h. That’s as fast as a Ferrari.
