Xobi's Water Slides

The "wedgie"

Yes, fast slides can give you a wedgie. That's why lifeguards say "cross your legs!" and why there's a net at the end of tunnel slides.Every rider knows to cross their legs and every enclosed slide has a mesh at the exit, but no authoritative engineering source treats it as a design term; treat it as operational advice rather than documented science.

Sources differ: Anecdotal; no primary source.
