Waterpark
On holiday with my mates this year, cracking time and some funny funny memories.

There were 6 of us in total, and we decided at the start of our 2 weeks that we'd book and pay up for a few excursion type things, you know, typical holiday stuff. One of which was to go to the local waterpark.

Anyway, we end up on our way to this Turkish waterpark, and my mate Mark decides to tell us he can't swim. Never had his head under the water in all his life. The rest of us in our minds are all thinking the same thing, "we must learn him good and proper".

Cue a few hours later, loads of dangerous sliding later, loads of sunburn later, we convince Mark to come down one of the "safer" flumes with us, it was a 2-man one where you sat on a dingy and flew down dark tunnels and stuff. We tell him, "its fine mark, theres no way you're gonna fall out at the end into the water, its fine".

We waited at the bottom for him.

I have never laughed so hard in all my life.

He was sat on the back of the dingy and another of the holidaymakers, Kylie, was sat on the front. As soon as the boat touches the water at the bottom, the physics of Mark being heavier than Kylie came into effect and things went mental. Mark came flying catapulting off the back of the boat, flying a good 10 feet in the air, and I tell you the look on his face will stay with me til i die. He ended up going under the (fairly shallow) water, and then the panic set in.

Lifeguard jumped in and pulled him out, he was all shaky and pale for about half an hour.

He still hasnt forgiven us for that.

"Safer" ride my arse.
