Giant Slide In US Forced To Shut Down Hours After Opening

A giant slide in the United States was forced to shut down after a matter of hours because of a seriously bumpy start. The huge slide in Michigan's Belle Isle Park re-opened on Friday and was then closed just hours later as parents voiced safety concerns. 

A video of the chaos caused by the historic ride has since been shared on Twitter. It shows several people riding the slide which flung them into the air and sent them crashing down with a thud.
