We've all experienced an event that was supposed to be fun, but it ended up getting spoiled by someone who wasn't doing what they were supposed to do. This could happen at school, at work, at an event, or even at an amusement park!
Unfortunately, when it comes to amusement parks, sometimes the person who is the most to blame is someone who's working there.
During the summer while visiting a water park, TikToker @Adrian_LionsOnly went down a water slide—but what should have simply been a fun time almost resulted in an injury.
At the beginning of the video, the TikToker had his feet crossed, ready to be sent down the slide. Lifeguards said it was his turn and sent him down.
The rest of the video was a joyride of neon lights, fluorescent designs and a TikToker who was clearly having a great time on the slide.
But there was a bad surprise waiting for him at the bottom, as the girl who had gone down before him had not climbed out of the slide yet. In the quick blip at the end of the video, it appeared she was sitting at the end of the slide before the TikToker ran into her.
The TikToker stated that she was okay and not injured but insisted that lifeguards needed to be more careful.

@adrian_lionsonly Dumb lifeguards! #islandwaterpark #fyp #accident
Fortunately, the question for fellow TikTokers wasn't whether or not @Adrian_LionsOnly was to blame, but rather whether the fault was with the lifeguards or the little girl.
Most agreed with the videographer that the lifeguards needed to pay closer attention.

But some surmised from the video that the girl was old enough to know better.

Whether or not the little girl was old enough to know that she needed to get out of the way for the next person to safely come down the slide, it seemed that she was okay and walked away without sustaining any injuries.
Given her size, it's also plausible that she didn't have enough momentum to fully exit the slide, and was in the process of scooting herself the rest of the way out when the accident happened.
But for those who felt the lifeguards were at fault, we can likely all agree that it wouldn't have hurt anyone for them to be a little more careful just in case.
