Justin and Sam are at the waterpark one summer afternoon. They are by the entrance to the waterslide, playing catch while waiting for their turns. Jeremy, the employee responsible for picking up towels, is busy talking to a pretty girl. Justin throws a ball to Sam, who backs up to catch it and slips on a towel lying on the floor. He loses his balance and grabs onto the railing at the start of the slide for support. The railing breaks and Sam falls into the slide. He goes down the slide backwards and breaks his wrist.
