We were at a water park once, and our table was next to their flo-rider thing. I was expecting to see lots of interesting things. Sitting there for a few hours while my own kids did stuff, and seeing 100s of people on the rider during the few hours, no one had any swimsuits mishaps at all--100s of people--no mishaps--except one of the lifeguards herself. And it was a biggie.
The women lifeguards wore a two-piece "sporty" swimsuit with a pullover jacket thing as their uniform with surprisingly tiny swimsuit bottoms, given this was a lifeguard uniform. A rider had an issue on the rider, getting pinned against the side, so the super tiny, college-aged lifeguard walked onto the platform to help, she got swept away, her glasses went flying, and her sporty swimsuit bottoms got pulled down, exposing her entire rear end. she managed to keep herself face down while pulling her bottoms up against the insane current (I guess her adrenaline kicked in). I felt really badly for her.
A few big dads ran into the water to help her, but she wouldn't let them help until she pulled her bottoms up. Some girl simply reached over the edge in the water and grabbed her glasses getting tossed into the wall over and over, which was the funniest part, given the overall drama.
We noticed that for the rest of the day and the rest of the weekend, only the large male lifeguards were stationed at the flo-rider. I assume she wasn't supposed to be there in the first place, but maybe she was covering a break for someone. I have no idea how that type of thing works, and I shouldn't pretend to know.
