The Spanish town of Estepona, on the Costa del Sol, thought it had found a fun way for its residents and visitors to get around. Two of the town’s streets, separated by a steep incline and previously requiring a long walkabout to move between, has been connected by a much-anticipated 125-foot slide inaugurated last Thursday.
Opening day did not go as planned, though, as multiple users reported injuries and a video circulated widely on social media showed a rider careening around a sharp curve and flying off the end of the slide onto the ground.
