This reminds me of my father and his brothers pastime down on the farm in rural Oklahoma. When the river would flood, they would go out into the river on intertubes, hang onto the top of a TREE sticking up out of the water, and garner a bumpy ride from the current.

Sliding where these kids are???? CHOOSING to go out into a flooded river???????

Their mothers would kill them if they knew....

This vid has a lot of comments on yt! Some of my favourites are:


  • parque leptospirose (Leptospirosis park, like as in fun park, only not so much fun)
  • Cadê a mãe dessas criaturas?É perigoso fazer isso! (Where is the mother of these creatures? It's dangerous to do that!)
  • E do jeito que eu conheço os politicos brasileiros... não vou ficar surpreso quando oficializarem isso como transporte público. (And from the way I know Brazilian politicians... I will not be surprised when they formalise it as public transportation)


On the whole they are split between the sentiment of "oh let them be kids" and they shouldn't do it either from traffic, open manhole covers, or whatever. I admit that leptospirosis wasn't my first thought when I saw the vid, but it's a nasty disease and well worth avoiding, and since it is transmitted via animal urine I can see how it could be a risk. Many of the comments pointed out that risk, as well as typhoid and other bacterial infections. Others said they did it too and were fine
