TERRIFIED cruise passengers have been captured screaming a bone-chilling three-word message after a towering waterslide shattered on board.
One passenger was reportedly sliced open after a section of the Icon of the Seas‘ waterpark suddenly burst into pieces.
Horrifying video shows water pouring onto the deck after the malfunction on the largest cruise ship in the world.
The incident happened as a passenger was sliding down the Frightening Bolt acrylic slide on the Royal Caribbean liner.
According to one scared guest, the victim’s “leg and back were cut open pretty bad,” Cruise Hive reported.
However, he didn’t fall through the hole.
Passengers all screamed for help and ran toward the chaotic scene to see whether anyone was hurt.
Many of the horrified bystanders all screamed a single three-word phrase at the operators as water gushed down.
“Stop the slide!” said people standing in the crowd.
After the water was finally stopped, a passenger took a picture of the hole that showed the jagged edges left by the shattered plastic.
The man reportedly hurt by the slide is in stable condition, according to the outlet.
The surrounding area of the deck was closed off following the accident.
According to Royal Caribbean’s website, the Frightening Bolt, which is part of the Category 6 Waterpark, is the tallest waterslide at sea.
It’s one of six “record-breaking” slides that are on the ship, the cruise line said.
The Icon of the Seas is in the midst of a seven-day trip around the eastern Caribbean and is due to return to Miami on Saturday.
The colossal ship holds 7,600 passengers and is known for its massive waterpark.
In a statement, Royal Caribbean said, “Our team provided medical care to an adult guest when acrylic glass broke off a water slide as the guest passed through the slide.
“The guest is being treated for his injuries. The water slide is closed for the remainder of the sailing pending an investigation.”
The massive cruise ship has seen a string of tragedies in recent weeks.
Two weeks ago, a crew member stabbed his female colleague before jumping overboard to his death.
Days after this, a passenger fell over the edge of an infinity pool while reaching for his sunglasses.
The man didn’t sustain any injuries and was successfully recovered from the sea.
TOM Brady’s first NFL Draft pick is not off to a great start.
Top-10 draft pick Ashton Jeanty had an awful NFL debut in the preseason on Thursday night.
The No. 6 overall pick made his debut against the Seattle Seahawks.
He was picked out of Boise State and was the No. 1 running back in his draft class.
At just 21 years old, many picked him to be a prime candidate to be a top player for years to come.
However, his first performance in the preseason did not reflect that idea.
Jeanty didn’t manage to record any positive yardage in his first NFL game.
Fans were quick to react to the poor performance, sharing their thoughts on social media.
“I have more rushing yards than Ashton Jeanty in the NFL preseason,” one fan said.
“Ashton Jeanty officially on bust watch,” another fan said.
“Time to pump brakes on Ashton Jeanty?” a third fan said.
“Ngl Ashton Jeanty is scaring me. He does not look good at all,” a fourth fan said.
“Bust of the century,” a fifth fan said.
While it was a poor stat line for Jeanty, it is important to note that he didn’t get much action.
Jeanty only had three carries during the game, meaning he didn’t get many opportunities to make up for one negative chunk play.
He signed after the draft on a four-year deal worth $35.9 million.
March 12 - Free Agency begins
April 24-26 – NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin
September 4 – 2025 season opener (TBC vs Eagles)
November 27 – Thanksgiving Day triple header
January 4, 2026 – End of regular-season
February 8, 2026 – Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California
Jeanty also got a signing bonus worth $22.75 million.
Despite a rough first game as a Raider, coaches are still impressed with Jeanty.
He performed well in training camp, and likely will do better with more reps in a future preseason game.
Jeanty is currently tied with Cam Ward as the favorite to win Offensive Rookie of the Year.
