Water Slide Tester
Sounds fun until you realize it’s a real, salaried job with performance metrics. Water slide testers are hired by resorts and theme parks to test new slides for safety, speed, splash factor, and thrill levels. You’re not just riding slides all day—you’re riding badly designed slides before the public does, sometimes with sketchy water flow or improperly sealed joints.
A few broken tailbones and waterlogged regrets later, the fun starts to wear thin. Testers often endure cold weather, dodgy landings, and endless wet swimsuits. And while it’s hard to complain about a job that involves adrenaline, knowing your job title sounds fake and your work hazards involve surprise wedgies does make you wonder where your life turned sideways.
