I wonder if you got sucked into that thing when the water was going through if you could survive. Looking at how fast the water is coming out down below I’m guessing you wouldn’t be in the pipe very long. Probably come out a little fucked up, but I bet you could survive. ---

I’m pretty sure it’s something like 1 earth every 10 seconds. That’s a lot considering it’s never coming back out. ---

Hm. I would have expected like 10 Earths/nanosecond or something like that. I’m officially unimpressed by super massive black holes. 😛 ---

[/quote] assuming that you drop in on the proper side, your best case scenario is that you hit bottom with maybe a foot of water as “padding” … because the water is running down the full 360\* of the vertical pipe then, after you hit bottom, you get pummeled by the wall of water coming down from above the “short side radius” of the bend … then you pass into the “rapids” inside the horizontal pipe, which will surely bask you against the botom a few time, and also starve you of oxygen then you get spit outthe end at 60mph … and hit the river bed / boulders / trees id say it would be a pretty shitty water slide all in all ---

I guess i’m the only sick f\*ck who though of this… If I controlled the danm. I’d block off the water for weeks untill it got really high… all the skaters would be in the pipe…then…release the water… and watch…haha it would be helarious!
