The Largest Slip N Slide in Norway

This homemade slip n slide was made by brothers Christian and Svein Torp in the backyard in Oslo, Norway. The original design was only a straight slide from the roof of their house into their backyard pool. These brothers are known for being into action sports like snowboarding and water skiing, and decided to take their talents to the creation of this splash-filled design.

A Megaloop Party

Recently for a big birthday celebration of Svein, the brothers decided it was time to amp up their design, this time with a megaloop. For onlookers, the thought going down the slide and flipping without injury seems borderline impossible. However, we can thank physics for the safe riding on this fun filled spectacle.

First Person Views Of The Slip N Slide

While only invitees were able to soak up the fun on this backyard attraction, viewers around the world could feel like they were on the ride with videos shared by riders. This first person account shared on Instagram shows slow-motion footage just as he gets to the megaloop.

If a giant slip n slide is out of your reach, you can always grab some super soakers and still get in on some splashing action!

A reporter covers the floods in neck-deep water

by

Social media has acclaimed the efforts of the Pakistani journalist, Azadar Hussain, for reporting on floods in Punjab while standing in dangerously high waters. The reporter was trying to raise awareness on the rising level of the waters due to the intense rain that was falling in a province in Pakistan.

Monsoon season

Torrential rains had been heavily falling on the area for days. It has already caused at least 28 deaths, children included. Such rainfalls are pretty common during monsoon season in south Asia. That’s why Hussain decided to prove the importance of the floods.

The video

He stood there, almost fully submerged in the water, and reported on what was going on. The video was posted by Pakistan’s GTV on Youtube under the caption of “Pakistani reporter in floodwater, risks his life in danger to perform his duties”.

The video has since created a massive uproar. People have been commenting all sorts of things. Many praised the man’s creativity and braveness, while others were concerned about his safety. Here are some examples.

This is definitely what we like to call “in-depth” reporting.
