Do not ever try to waterslide like this

Please don't try this at home.

Extreme dude and pro skier Benjamin Forthun is no stranger to putting himself in danger in order to pump his veins full of adrenaline, but his latest stunt is next level.

Because a normal waterslide just wasn't enough, Forthun decided to drop in on the metal slide from at least 10 feet above.

Careful, this will definitely make your palms sweat.

Thankfully, Forthun landed on the slide without incident, but the internet is genuinely concerned that he scorched his back on a hot metal slide.

Let's hope someone lubed it up for him beforehand.
