Consider this man’s spine-chilling moment a rather lucky ESCAPE.
In a video shared by TikToker @jamii.talib, his thrilling attempt of sliding down the Super Looper quickly turned into a nightmare after he got stuck not once, but twice.
While he managed to slide down after the first mishap, the second time saw him turning around to call for help.
Luckily for him, he was able to get out within minutes.
The video was enough to traumatize viewers, with many pointing out that the ordeal has triggered their claustrophobia.
*Update 21/6:*
ESCAPE Penang’s CEO, Philip Whittaker, has issued an apology video to @jamii.talib for the harrowing experience.
Whittaker explained that such issue can arise when not enough momentum is generated, depending on the user’s wetsuit material or weight.
He’s also extended another round of invitation to Jami, in order for him to attain a far better experience.
We would very much like to reach out and apologise to Jamii Talib @Jami R one for the recent unfortunate experience on our Super Looper slide at ESCAPE Penang. While this may have been an unpleasant occurrence, unfortunately, these incidents can occasionally occur with rides such as these of which there are many around the world! We sincerely do hope youre feeling better! We would like to assure the public that ESCAPE takes the issue of safety extremely seriously. Since inception, ESCAPE Penang has invested heavily in state-of-art facilities and services and this is why this ride has a specially designed opening ensuring that in instances like these, our guests can be removed from the slide in quick time as showcased in the video. Jamii, we would like to invite you to come back to ESCAPE Penang to experience this ride in the right way and to enjoy our other great games and activities. We look forward to hosting you soon. Regards, The ESCAPE Penang Team.
