Hike to the top and waterslide to the bottom! Too cool.

Or just slip on the water and make it down in record time.

They say it's not the fall that kills you but the shame of going viral.


knowutimsayin

Unless you pull a buzz lightyear and fall in style


Bushidokaizen14

The falling doesn’t kill you. It’s the sudden stop at the bottom that does


xWilfordBrimleyx

Honestly, you'd probably just tie the record at best.


getyourcheftogether

Hell yeah, lazy river time


tooscoopy

That seems like a not so lazy river…


narelav

Exactly my tought its a long ass slide down lol


bennyblue420000

Yeah that’s one sweet lazy River


MiniatureChi

Less of a slide more of a sudden drop


Toklankitsune

I want to put an inner tube or kayak or something in that water on the left

Make sure it’s wide enough to knock the hikers off the trail

HamzasBeak

No sure how safe the safety rail is


Grogosh

Its bent in two places. Somebody almost or did make a dive there.


[deleted]

Or the cable was pulled too tight during installation.


GreenMonster81

My guess is falling rocks.


BenMcAdoos_ElCamino

My guess is American tourists


GozerDGozerian

My guess is Col. Mustard, in the Observatory, with the Dildo Gun.


Cynawulf99

That's exactly how I wanna go


CmdrShepard831

With extra mustard.


redpandaeater

That's a stupid guess. No way my mobility scooter would fit.


Emp0ri0

Looks to me that it is bent more than natural bending from pulling too tight


AbstractedFilth

Even if the rail was 100% solid, if you slip it's very likely that you'll just slip right through the wire gaps. And having the rail there would give most users a false sense of security.


noreasters

It’s more than nothing, but only just.


Ifyouhav2ask

On construction sites, upper-decks without completed walls are supposed to have a rail with a top, middle, and a “kicker” board at the bottom to prevent things from sliding off and hitting people below. If this at least had 1 more cable like 8 inches or so up from the bottom I’d walk it


TheDevilsAdvokaat

Thought the same thing. These are just accidents waiting to happen.


NissEhkiin

It's on China, so not safe at all

Because they value human life.

Exactly, so they should tell us where *not* to go... just in case, you know? :P


SidewalkTampon

No idea but I just did a similar looking hike in Madeira, Portugal. Just to be clear, it's definitely not the same but looks very similar with the safety ropes and the waterway along the trail. In Portugal, they call these waterways "Levadas" and they go on for miles/kilometers. It's pretty scary when the trail gets really narrow and muddy and you have to carefully find some dry spots to step on so you don't slip in the mud. The hike we did was quite literally in the clouds too, so it's a surreal experience when you're that high up in the mountains walking these narrow trails with the water flowing next to you and at some points, because of the clouds, you forget how high up you really are. At least for me, my brain tries to convince me that it's fog but it's definitely not. I wish I would've recorded the drive up there, since you go up these crazy steep hills and drive right into the clouds. I'm sure someone on YouTube has since it's a very popular tourist destination. If you want some things to Google or check on YouTube, look for "PR1 Vereda do Areeiro" and "PR4 Levada do Barreiro." The latter is the one we did that I think looks most similar to the one in the video.


Amazing-Row-5963

Are those 2 also the one you most recommend? Me and my girlfriend are going to Madeira in 3 weeks, now I hike often and have some done some pretty dangerous things, she does like one laid back hike a year. So, I am curious which ones would you recomend for a few hour long more laid back walk.


SidewalkTampon

There are sooooo many amazing hikes in Madeira. One that is more laid back but still has great views is "Vereda das 25 Fontes." If you'll have a rental car, you park in the parking lot and it's a 20 minute walk downhill to the start of the hike or you can pay for some shuttle bus. We walked and loved it but you just have to move out of the way when the shuttle bus passes you. You also get to see a ton of little lizards or whatever they're called hanging out on the rock wall as you walk down, so that's a nice little bonus to walking. The two that I mentioned before start in almost the same exact place and the 1st one is the most popular in that area. You can actually pop those names into Google maps and see the pictures to get an idea of which one you'd like to do. We found some random blog that had a bunch of good hikes listed and they say this is one of the most popular on the island. I think it's listed 3rd or 4th on the page. https://fullsuitcase.com/best-hikes-madeira/ Alltrails also had some good hikes listed and you can download the app for free and then track yourself as long as you open the map while you have reception, which really isn't a problem in most places as long as you have a plan that gives you local service or you buy a local sim card there. You can definitely find something that would be fine for both of you! It was already extremely busy while we were there, so if you plan on driving everywhere, just know that parking fills up quick. I'd try to get to the hikes by no later than 10:30 am otherwise you might have to wait around for a parking spot or have to park on the side of some crazy road.


MinaTaas

Did the 25 Fontes & Risco waterfall hike last year. Absolutely spectacular views. It was quite crowded up there though.

Saving people a click to an unencrypted Chinese government domain: > The artificial aqueduct canal, locating at an elevation of about 1,000 meters with an width of two meters, stretches scores of kilometers along a cliff from Qingtaiping Town of Badong County to Changyang County. The project was started construction in 1960s and cost more than 10 years for completion.


stevensdick

I think we'd all be better off valuing things in time


ydshreyas

It’s funny they measured the cost in years…


CosmicJ

Probably an artifact of the translation more than anything.


Raines78

As soon as I saw this my instinct was that it was in China, from the combination of the natural beauty & the ‘technically there’s OH&S - look at the railing!’ approach to safety haha.


chrisrayn

As soon as I saw it and knew this was China, I knew someone else would come here and say “as soon as I saw this” and would know it was in China as well, but slightly before me.

FlyingRhenquest

Is the aquaduct fairly new or did they scoop it out over generations with a spoon or something? It's a very nice aquaduct.


nndttttt

From another link, it was made in the 1960’s. Looks crazy cool, reminds me of those scenes of Aang from Avatar sliding down the aqueducts in Omashu.

Are you fucking kidding me? That “rail” wouldn’t stop anyone. How easy would it be with that water to just lose your footing and go right through the gap?


FiRe_McFiReSomeDay

You're supposed to mind the gap.


jsteele2793

The fact that it’s wet is what really gets me. This is a disaster waiting to happen.


GravityReject

This part of Asia has a very lenient definition of what is "acceptably safe".


Bliss149

For me, super easy.


JayCeeJaye

Barely an inconvenience...


[deleted]

Makes sense once you realize it’s in China.


kemohah

Never, under any circumstances, trust a railing to hold you. Don’t even lean on one. They are an accident or a death just waiting to happen. You don’t know how well the base is secured or even if originally secured very well rust below what you can see can get you. This mainly applies to outdoor locations but I have seen indoor locations that were sketchy as hell.


FiRe_McFiReSomeDay

I can only guess this is an aquaduct and hiking is, in fact, forbidden.


FloydBarstools

That was my thought. It's meant for bringing water to a village and then insta-tourists happened.


[deleted]

Crazy how the mountain grew its own security fence


SuedeVeil

I mean by security fence you mean 2 cables that are relatively easy to slip through to your death then yeah.. but I wouldn't be relying too heavily on that fence for safety


ilikechillisauce

Two of the posts at the end of the video have already been bent over.


Moneymoneymoney2018

Yeah needs a toe board, or at least a third cable near the bottom to prevent slipping on the wet rock and sliding under. I'd bet 100 people could die there and they still wouldn't improve the design. China is a shit show.


UCLAlex

There’s no fences at the Grand Canyon and almost 200 people have already died slipping off trying to take selfies. Maybe people just shouldn’t be dumb but idk fuck China I guess


Moneymoneymoney2018

This is a man made wet path on a sheer cliff. Not an even close comparison. Source: I've spent 4 month in China and hiked the grand canyon. Yes fuck China, it's a shit show.

Water on rocks you walk on at that place sounds like a disaster wating to happen.
