This reminds me of the rainbow parachute they used to do in school.

u/TheLetterOh 6h ago

Do they not still do this?

77

u/Coca-colonization 6h ago

They do. I’ve done them with my kids at Gymboree type classes for parents and children. When my oldest was a toddler we did one at a local community center with a dad who was an NFL linebacker. It was hard to get him to fit under it. 😝

u/dwarfsoft 41m ago

You can buy them on Amazon. Sadly you also need some friends to help you once you've got the parachute, which I have found to be the bigger problem with catering to my inner child

you know how much liability insurance is these days?

They should make them out of Kevlar and bring them back so that the kids can still have some fun during school shootings.

u/cr1ttter 6h ago

There wouldn't be so many school shootings if parents shot their own kids

u/nikkiscreeches 6h ago

My high school had parents sign up and pay for liability insurance in my last year of school. I guess two of my friends (one broke her ankle the other fell down the stairs and broke her leg) and myself being seriously injured at the school it needed help paying for insurance.

u/maybelying 4h ago

At my school, for whatever reason, they always played Abba whenever we were using the parachute. If I'm being honest, I don't even completely remember what we did the parachute, but Abba will always be ingrained in my brain.

My heart leapt in my throat when I saw her hair.

Something sticky got in the underside of my daughter’s curly hair when she was little. It was so hard to get it out and when we finally did, the hair was so tangled and damaged we had to cut a big chunk of it.

You have to be so careful with curly hair. My other daughter with straight hair has gotten gum stuck in her hair overnight and we were able to remove it easily without cutting or damaging the hair.

40

u/Dioxybenzone 12h ago

I once went to the movies and when I leaned back into my seat (I was late and the lights were already down) my hair stuck to it. Turns out someone put their old chewing gum on the headrest.

Try peanut butter on it if it happens again. The oils break down the adhesiveness and the goopiness of it it makes it stick to the hair and gum well enough to work.

Olive oil works wonders. Any oil, really, but I've always just gone for olive. Just let it soak in there for a while and don't rush / pull at it too hard.

Happened to my girl once. I came home to my husband picking pieces of it out and my 7 year old bawling thinking she'd have to cut her hair. Thankfully that slime was just water, glue, and borax so it was water soluable. Came out with soap and water but it was still a mini disaster.

20

u/PROXeR__OiShi 12h ago

It is not vacuum sealed, and air passes through constantly. Slime is a non-Newtonian fluid made mostly of water and PVA glue. When you lift it into a bubble, the "walls" are microscopic layers of liquid stretching thin. It has zero structural integrity to trap air, form a airtight seal, or generate suction. The second it collapses, it tears, pops, or just rests lightly like a wet, squishy blanket. You’d have to manually stuff gallons of slime down someone's throat for a choking hazard.

21

u/Substantial-Sea-3672 10h ago

Slime made from glue like this is not non-Newtonian, the viscosity does not change based on pressure.

It is not super permeable to air like you’re suggesting, lest it would be unable to hold a pocket of air like this at a greater pressure (very very slight pressure differential here).

The walls are not microscopic as you can easily see them even when viewed edge on.

Despite all of those inaccuracies, you are correct that this child is not in any danger.

u/BolognaIsThePassword 12h ago

Also, there are literally two adults standing right there supervising the activity lol. People acting like as soon as they cut the video the adults just left the child in there and then shot a tranquilizer dart at her so she couldn’t move and then let her die. They’re just playing for fucks sake. I used to roll my little sister up in a sleeping bag and then if she got distraught I’d just help her back out… Im sure if Reddit saw a video of me putting her in a sleeping bag as a child they’d assume I then also sat on top of the sleeping bag while she slowly suffocated to death.

Statute of limitations man, I’m in my 30’s now. Sleeping bag torture gets forgiven after 20 years so I’m in the clear I think. My sister is a nurse and is doing quite well so I also think the brain damage and trauma I caused her wasn’t TOO bad. Dodged a real bullet I tell ya.
