I presume he means K2 here as in the second tallest mountain on Earth. That angle is steeper than I’ve ever seen one rated to be safely used at, and normally rather than a steeper incline beyond maybe 25 to 30 degrees you just add weight to the movement.
Due to reasons my girlfriend-now-wife was on a pony (so was I) and she was not enjoying it at all and asked how do you get off and I said “fall” and then she did?! but fortunately not far and to this day I’m all NOT LITERALLY in my head every time I remember it xD

Well, I figure you’d slide down the backrest rather than falling, but you’d still hit your head at the bottom. Not too bad, but not exactly good either.
You can prop yourself with your arms and unhook your legs by the looks of it. I’ve never tried it but looks like it’d be simple enough, well for someone in shape.
i`m not really clear on just who was embarrassed though.
Taffy
Getting killed by Blaine O’Malley is pretty embarrassing, honestly. Ross really coulda made some better choices in life, maybe ones that didn’t result in such a stupid death.
HueSatLight
could be worse. could have tried to tackle Blaine off of a building and fail to hold onto him.

As much as I appreciate dunking on Mike’s single most redeeming moment (because let’s be honest here, it’s probably what he would’ve wanted), I imagine going from a jump-tackle to a grab mid-jump seems legitimately difficult. Even just holding on. Mike seemed like he was attractive, but I don’t recall him actually exercising particularly.
Could be worse, she could have fallen out of her top while all the blood rushing to her head knocks her unconscious.
On the scale of hilarious bungling this is perfectly reasonable buffoonery.

For some reason I just now noticed the “Who’s better at spotting Jacob? ” poll. As I type this “I harbor perverse sexual lust” is winning with 41٪ of the vote. Fair, because who doesn’t, but it doesn’t seem quite relevant.

Never thought I’d see a reference to the Blackwell games on here. Well done.
Golden Yak
Bullet dodged, I guess.

When I get to the bottom, I go back to the top of the slide.
Rose by Any Other Name
Where I stop, and I turn, and I go for a ride

Helter Skelter was apparently a fairground slide built around a tower.

I can’t believe Charles Manson lied to me

I can’t believe he co-wrote a Beach Boys song.

Still are, and you can hire ones here in the UK for as little as £1500.
Fine, or get a metric buttload of McNuggets if you prefer.

joe performs a flirt
clif
Not effectively. Now is the time to ask Joyce if she is ticklish.
James
That’s not flirting, that’s a declaration of war.
Dara
Or zurber. Could be zurber time.
NGPZ
Is there a conspiracy here to melt me or something aaaaaaaaah ??
Cholma
Joyce, maybe you should start with old fashioned, sitting-on-the-floor situps?
anon
i imagine she wanted to try out smoe of hte equipment but maybe she could do jump ropes or so if they have it
Amelie Wikström
Or easy mode, elevated situps?
Bash
This does seem way too extreme for someone not used to working out.
ValdVin
Yeah, I don’t want to interrupt Joe in the middle of a wholesome flirt but he knows this. But it’s cute to see him do this.
ian livs
I don’t blame her–those things always terrified me
HueSatLight
adorbable. the slope is adjustable though right?
Ryan
It is. Currently set to K2 mode.
clif
What is K2 mode?

Joyce is using dangerous recreational drugs.
Opus the Poet
Not that I’m aware of, this is a Roman Chair, as one commenter put it an instrument of torture.
shrub
Thats the worst thing that’s ever happened to Joyce?
It’s quite fun if, in that situation, you sit up and throw a quick left-right combination
Well fun might be stretching it a bit…
True Survivor
“Was never a slide?!” Such paucity of imagination, Joe. Where is your vision, your wonder? God, it’s a good thing your handsome.
anon
they need to find an adult theme park to play around in if not just like an indoor rock climbing thing if she might have with that
morleuca
I thought “adult theme park” was the name of Joe’s dorm room
David DeLaney
definitely an E-ticket

Adorkable
BBCC
Yeah, I have no clue how the fuck I’d get down either.
anon
well i imagine you’d need a partner to help out but yeah i imagine itd be hard to descend on ur own
clif
Simplicity itself. You just release your legs from where they are hooked and fall on your head.
I said it was simple; I didn’t say it was a good idea.

CallynD
It’s not that high. Take your legs out and you can get down. If you’re worried about your head, put your arms behind you first.
Shade
You can prop yourself with your arms and unhook your legs by the looks of it. I’ve never tried it but looks like it’d be simple enough, well for someone in shape.
thejeff
First, you sit up and then grab the top so you can unhook your legs.
Oh wait, I see the problem.
John Campbell
Yes, exercising is definitely worse than being kidnapped by a murderous supervillain.
clif
What you said, but without the sarcasm.
Taffy
He wasn’t even super, either
Just embarrassing really

DailyBrad
It could be worse, Joyce, your shirt’s not ending up over your head.
clif
Yet.
John Campbell
That wouldn’t be so bad. it might get Dorothy’s attention back where it belongs.
Schpoonman
Could maybe take your glasses off while working out.
Schpoonman
She’s trapped there, she belongs to the exercise equipment now.

Nice callback.

Stephen Bierce
I just had to look up the song “Everybody’s Girl” from STEEL PIER. 😐
Taffy
Okay but that position though?
Yotomoe
Jokes on you. I find both of those options hot.
Schpoonman
She’s reminiscing about their first date.

surprised i had to scroll so far for someone to mention that first punch lol

It’s really more of a Jennifer/Ruth thing.

It’s clearly the “I don’t care about the question but I wanna vote for something” choice.
bemisawa
See, for me, it was the “this option is much funnier than the actual answers” choice.
Reltzik
Sitting up once would be impressive. But sitting up twice? That’s something you should tell everyone about.
… you know, like a sit rep.
Mym
Punch him in the face twice
Mark
Soooo bad! 🙂
Max
She does have experience with that. It was through a proxy, but she’s well versed in punching him in the face.
