A man in Malaysia planned a thrilling date at Escape Theme Park in Penang, Malaysia, with his girlfriend, eagerly anticipating the adventure of conquering the world’s longest water slide.
However, the man, Zachariah Chiah, ended up on a “date” with the lifeguard instead of his girlfriend, as the lifeguard slipped and ended up on the water float with him.
The World’s Longest Water Slide
Escape Theme Park in Penang boasts the world’s longest water slide, recognized by Guinness World Records. This mammoth slide stretches over 1,111 meters, winding through Penang’s forest-covered hillside. Visitors on this exhilarating journey take a full three minutes to descend to the bottom, making it a must-visit attraction for thrill-seekers.
Zachariah Chiah’s Experience
Zachariah Chiah and his girlfriend were all set to embark on this incredible journey down the water slide. Chiah was perched comfortably on the float, eagerly waiting for his girlfriend to join him for the ride.
As Chiah and his girlfriend were preparing for their adventure, something unexpected happened. While the lifeguard adjusted the float, it unexpectedly began its descent down the slide—with Chiah and the lifeguard aboard. Chiah’s girlfriend was left standing at the top of the slide, utterly bewildered.
Zachariah Chiah captured this unexpected twist of events on a TikTok video, sharing it with the world. The video garnered attention for its unique and humorous storyline, quickly going viral on social media platforms.
As the float began its unexpected descent, Chiah’s girlfriend was left perplexed and amazed by what she was witnessing. Her boyfriend, who was supposed to be right behind her, was now a part of an unusual duo on the slide.
Asked lifeguard “my baby leh?”
From the lifeguard’s startled expression and slight fumbling to sit properly on the float, it was evident that he might have accidentally pushed the float off the top of the slide. This unexpected twist added an element of surprise to the adventure.
Chiah, too, was taken by surprise, as he found himself sharing the float with the lifeguard instead of his girlfriend. He couldn’t help but ask, “My baby leh?”
To which, the lifeguard pointed to the top of the slide, indicating the girlfriend’s location. In Malay, the lifeguard explained that he had fallen and ended up with Chiah instead of his girlfriend.
During the three-minute ride down the slide, Chiah and the lifeguard struck up an unexpected friendship. Chiah introduced himself and even shook hands with the lifeguard. He couldn’t resist asking if it was the lifeguard’s first day on the job, which added a touch of humor to the situation.
A Memorable Three-Minute Ride
Though the adventure didn’t go as planned, Chiah and the lifeguard created a unique memory during their descent down the world’s longest water slide. This story serves as a reminder that unexpected experiences can often lead to memorable moments and new friendships.
