The world's tallest waterslide was given a test run by two of its creators.

The Verrukt, which means "go insane", was tested to prove that it is safe.

The slide was set to open Memorial Day at Kansas City Schlitterbahn Water Park, but was postponed after safety concerns.

Two of the slide's architects posted a video of themselves on the 168-foot ride.

From the YouTube video's description:
