Saturday's Fort Worth City Slide Went From Disaster To Mysterious Guinness World Record Breaking Event

Well now, is this not a classic case of turning a lemon into lemonade?

Saturday morning the Slide the City Panther Fest event was deemed a disaster.

And then, later on that disastrous day, the Slide in the City of Fort Worth set a world record in the Guinness Book of Records.

That is a screen cap of this momentous news, from the Star-Telegram, which you see here.

I am unable to read the article explaining how the slipping and sliding in Fort Worth set a world record, due to me not being willing to pay the Star-Telegram their requested reading fee.

Was the record due to a world record number of people sliding on a water slide in an allotted period of time?

Was the record due to a world record amount of money being raised by such an event?

Was the record due to a world record distance slid?

Was the record due to a world record number of people willing to slide on water which came, un-treated, from a polluted river?

Those are my four guesses as to what sort of world record could have been set yesterday in Fort Worth via a long slip and slide....
