Water Slide
As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.
understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
Yesterday,whilst watching Youtube videos, one of the videos that came up in the suggested to watch list was about the 10 highest water slides,some of which had been closed due to being aged or not complying with modern safety regulations or because someone had been killed on them.
Water slide theme park rides are not something I'd normally be interested in,I nominally watch music/science videos or hassle those who post conspiracy/ufo content,
but for some reason this video took my attention.
Today,the front page of the paper relates the story of an 11 yr old girl killed on a water slide at Drayton Manor,Staffs!
