i see a lot of people in the notes of the Cop Annihilator Slide video wondering why the titular cop came out at Mach 5 while the Scot in the video descended at a leisurely pace. there are actually two equally important reasons for this:
most people go down wearing less-than-grippy shoes and long pants. your skin and shoes have a way higher coefficient of friction on steel than any fiber, particularly synthetic ones. this is why the cop, wearing a vest and long pants, came out like a bullet. on the other hand, you can literally hear the squeaking of the Scottish guy using his asscheeks as brake pads over the bagpipes, and he's digging his heels in to slow himself down even further.
the slide is alive and it hates cops specifically
