"When your child gets stuck on a waterslide, it's dad to the rescue" the video reads.
It looks like a typical theme park waterslide, except if you look closely, there's really no water coming down. You can see 6-year-old Sienna Reece sitting on the top of the slide's curve in an innertube. Her dad Andrew Reece begins to climb up the waterslide to help the little girl get down, after the park's crew was "taking too long," according to an article from the Warrington Guardian.

You can hear his wife Emma laughing in the background as Andrew continues to climb up the slide. Climbing up a regular plastic slide isn't easy, and even though there isn't much water, there's enough to make it that much harder for him to get up.
Despite the hurdle, he climbs the slide like a champ, finally reaching his daughter. That's when the video gets really funny. Now that he's gotten up, he has to get both of them down, which isn't going to be easy.
Andrew thinks that he can just pull the tube down the slide and ride it down, but he realizes pretty quickly that there is definitely not enough water for that. He has to keep pulling the tube down on his own. It's pretty hard not to laugh yourself as you watch his feeble attempts to pull the tube down the slide.
After a couple of tries, he's successful enough to jump in front of his daughter and ride the tube down the rest of the slide. There's no splash at the end or anything, but there are a whole lot of laughs!
The comments on the video are just as hilarious as the video itself.
"That is the worst water slide in the history of water slides!!" one commenter wrote.
"I love that getting down looked harder than going up," said another.
"Slide drier than my mouth at 4am gasping for water," someone else hilariously wrote.
"Dad of the year award goes to him, but wife of the year goes to you for laughing and recording," another person chimed in.
