This is a video of an exhilarating trip down the 800-foot roller slide in Tabayama, Japan. It’s Japan’s longest roller slide (with a sliding surface of metal rollers like you’d imagine boxes traveling along in a factory) and opened in 1990. “The slide has no seat belts, helmets or much of anything in the way of personal protection. A set of cheap cotton work gloves and a rubberized, hard-foam mat are all you get.” It costs around $4 to ride, or $2 for children. But the cost of breaking an arm and chipping all four front teeth? Probably like $60K out of pocket with my insurance.
