"Stop, there's a snake on the water slide!"
Updated | By Jacaranda FM/Udesha Moodley-Judhoo
Seeing a snake on a slide doesn't exactly scream holiday fun for non-snake lovers.

A TikTok video with over two million views has unlocked a new fear for many people…
In the video shared by TikToker SimplyRed28, he’s seen standing on the sidelines while his family goes down a water slide at Nusa Dua beach in Bali.
The slide looked like fun – until he spotted something that instantly changed everything.
As he watched, he saw a snake slithering against the current toward the end of the slide. In a desperate attempt to warn the riders, he shouted, “Don’t go!”
But by then, it was too late. A woman and a group of kids were already speeding down the slide.
After scrolling through the comments, we noticed many people made a valid point – amid the panic of seeing the snake, SimplyRed28 should’ve shouted “Stop!” instead of “Don’t go!”

We get it – panic set in, but instead of checking on his loved ones, he kept filming (because, of course, that’s what matters most in the presence of a snake).
Nevertheless, from the looks of it, everyone seemed fine. The woman certainly got more than she bargained for when her thrilling slide turned into a terrifying moment.
Still, it’ll likely make for a great holiday story.
