Crazy jump into the water

(20min.ch, November 21, 2013)

In Kansas City, Kan, the largest water slide in the world is currently under construction. It has a name already - and it fits: "The Verrückt," or German for "insane". Visitors will reach top speeds close to 65 mph (100 mph) on their descent from the 17 stories high slide. The Verrückt will be the tallest and fastest water slide in the world - higher than the Niagara Falls and taller than the Statue of Liberty.
