Maine is the most dangerous place in the U.S. to work, according to a recent report. It’s a perilous place to have fun, too. 

A guy known as “Banana Man” was goofing around with friends at Step Falls, a well-known spot for natural waterslides. His buddies shouted words of encouragement as he nervously hurtled down a stream in a bright-yellow outfit on his way to YouTube infamy. 

Banana Man probably should have slid on a Slip ’n’ Slide in his backyard instead.
