Well, It Looked Good On Paper - HANG ON!!!

HUNTINGTON, UT – AUGUST 16: An Emery County ambulance leaves the Crandall Canyon coal mine August 16, 2007 near Huntington, Utah. Several ambulances and a MEDEVAC helicopter arrived at the mine in the evening as rescuers were injured during a collapse as they searched for six coal miners trapped 1,500 feet beneath the surface at the Crandall Canyon coal mine after an August 6 cave-in.

A long, steep slide linking two streets in a southern Spanish town has been closed pending safety checks a day after it opened to the public.

The 38-meter long slide in Estepona, on the Costa del Sol, was intended to give residents of all ages a quick way to travel between the streets, which sit at very different levels. The stainless-steel chute has a gradient that varies between 32 and 34 degrees.

It was unveiled on Thursday but shut the following day after people were injured.

A perfect example of something that looked much better on paper...
