She got fit for summer… but ended up stuck at the top of a waterslide
After a big weight loss, Alena Volodko headed to a water park for some fun—but physics had other plans. Her slide adventure turned into a viral moment when she couldn’t even make it past the starting point! Full story in the article below
Getting in shape for summer is a goal many people set for themselves—but sometimes, it comes with unexpected consequences. That’s exactly what happened to Alena Volodko, a woman, who recently shared her hilarious (and slightly disappointing) experience at a water park.
Alena, known for posting about motherhood and family life on Instagram, recently shifted gears and shared a more personal—and lighthearted—moment. In a now-viral video, she’s seen preparing to ride a steep drop slide at a water park, ready for the thrill. But as the clip shows, she never actually gets going.
Despite her best efforts to launch herself down the slide, Alena simply… sticks. She remains awkwardly perched at the top, unable to gain enough momentum to slide even an inch. As it turns out, her body weight—now much lower after a major fitness journey—wasn’t enough to get her moving.
The video quickly spread across social media, racking up more than 3.2 million views and sparking thousands of comments. People couldn’t help but laugh along with her and share their own water park mishaps.

Some viewers shared similar stories of getting stuck on slides, while others praised Alena for being able to laugh at herself and turn an awkward moment into something relatable and fun. In fact, her following grew by thousands after the post, with many saying her sense of humor and honesty made her even more likable.
Sometimes, even physics wants to humble us—especially when we least expect it.
