On June 6, 1997, the Banzai Pipeline collapsed after students rushed the water slide and ignored the warnings of a lifeguard in an attempt to break a school record. The collapse of the water slide resulted in 30 injures and the death of a 17 year old female.[1] It was stated that the slide experienced weight forces four times greater than what it was designed for.
