Just looking at the start of this waterslide will send your knees shaking. Named Verrückt, it stands at 17 stories high and will send only the brave down at 65 miles per hour. Verrückt means "insane" in German. What an apt description.

The world's tallest waterslide officially opens at the Schlitterbahn water park in Kansas City this Memorial Day. Check it out in the video below:
