When it’s blazing hot outside, taking a dip in the pool or going to a water park to cool off is ideal for most people, but can someone ever be “too old” to ride a water slide? A man who flew off a water slide and down a rocky cliff in Texas last weekend seems to think so, and the entire ordeal was caught on camera, WAOW reports.
David Salmon of Dallas posted the video of him tumbling down a cliff at Lake Travis in Austin, Texas, on his Facebook page Monday — from his hospital bed. “Too dang old to be going down water slides. Fell off this one that is over a rocky cliff,” Salmon said. The video has since gone viral, garnering over 1,350 shares and 881,000 views and counting.
According to Salmon, he took his first ever trip in an ambulance and suffered a few injuries from the fall, including a broken arm and fractured ribs. He also had lacerations on his back, arms, and side. “Just found out I don’t need surgery, so that’s good news!” Salmon said.
Salmon said Monday he would be discharged from the hospital Tuesday and allowed to return to his home in Dallas.
