Let It Slide

Let it Slide is an episode of the Happy Tree Friends internet series, the nineteenth of the second season, and forty sixth overall.
==HTF Episode Description==
Fun in the summertime! Faulty equipment can really ruin a good time. Grab your swimsuit and life vest and c'mon in... the water's fine.
==Plot==
Cuddles, Flaky, and Lumpy stand atop a water slide. Lumpy is in a striped bathing suit and Flaky is visibly nervous about going down the slide. Lumpy hops into the slide and laughs as he goes down, however his weight causes a screw to come loose in a part of the slide where two tubes connect to one another. In the pool at the bottom of the slide, Cub happily floats in a small inner tube. He floats by the bottom of the slide just as Lumpy comes out.
Lumpy laughs gleefully, until he notices that there is blood on one of his antlers. Blood stains the water below Cub and below the surface we see the lower half of his body detach from the upper half. Lumpy starts to get out of the water close to where Giggles happily sits. But she shrieks in terror, however, when she sees that Lumpy's swimsuit came off in the water. Noticing that he is completely naked, Lumpy starts to freak out and nervously looks around. He sees a towel hanging on a ball-valve and grabs it, accidentally spinning the valve and turning the water off.
Back at the top of the slide, Cuddles urges Flaky to go down the slide. Scared, she shakes her head in refusal. Laughing and ignoring her protests, Cuddles pushes her down the slide, unaware that the water has been turned off. Flaky screams as she slides down and her quills begin poking out of the slide. In the same section of the slide where Lumpy knocked out a screw, Flaky's weight and movements cause the remaining screws to fall out and one of the pipes moves below the other. At the bottom of the slide, Flaky emerges missing most of her skin. She sinks to the bottom of the pool and her skin floats to the surface.
Lumpy now realizes that the water has been turned off and quickly turns the ball-valve to its original position. Cuddles slides down seconds after the water turns back on, but he is cut in half when he reaches the disconnected pipes. At the bottom of the slide, Cuddles' back half sinks to the bottom of the pool.
The episode then ends with Lumpy using Flaky's detached skin as a new hoodie to cover his body, and starting to walk away. As the iris closes in on his exposed butt, Giggles' shriek is heard once again.
===Moral===
"Don't forget to wear sunblock!"

==Survival Rate==

==Destruction==
#Flaky's quills impale a slide.
#One of the tubes in the water slide loses all of its bolts and loosens.
#Cuddles' slippers are sliced in half by a section of the slide.
==Goofs==
#In the establishing shot of the water slide, Giggles and Cub are nowhere to be seen. However, they might have arrived at the pool later.
#In the establishing shot of the water slide, the small ladder that Lumpy uses to climb out of the water is not present.
#In the establishing shot of the water slide, there are a red slide, a yellow slide, a dark purple slide, and a light purple slide (The third one is cut off in the middle, and the last of which does not lead to the pool). At the top, however, there are only a red slide and a yellow slide. Similarly, in the establishing shot, the red and yellow slides are next to each other while at the top the two slides are depicted as being across from each other (all are mentioned in the Blurb).
#There is no ladder or other obvious way to climb to the top of the water slides.
#When Cub is near the slide and Lumpy slides down, Cub is only sliced in half by the waist, but few seconds later the wound has moved to his diaper.
#It would have been more logical if Lumpy sliced Cub with the antler that was pointing downwards.
#The safety pin on Cub's diaper switches positions twice.
#When Cub is shown from underwater, his philtrum is missing. Cuddles also loses his philtrum when he dies.
#Lumpy is wearing a bathing suit when he exits the slide, and yet he somehow manages to lose his bathing suit while underwater. (Debatable, as it may simply be a case of him being extremely clumsy.)
#Lumpy's antlers change directions twice.
#Giggles' mouth continues to move even after she stops screaming.
#When Flaky slides down, her quills pierce through the slide. When Cuddles slides down, Flaky's quills are gone.
#Blood should have spread in the pool when Flaky and Cuddles' bodies entered the pool. (Debatable, as it could have happened off-screen.)
#When Lumpy notices Flaky's death and turns the water back on, his tan and nipples are missing.
#When Cuddles gets ready to go down the slide, his philtrum disconnects from his nose for one frame.
#When Lumpy wears Flaky's skin, her skin has her face attached to her back, but it was previously not attached.
==Quick Shot Moment==
When Cuddles attempts to encourage Flaky to go down the slide, a brief shot of Flaky with all of her skin missing is seen. (This quick shot moment spoils Flaky's death.)
This quick shot moment looks like the episode’s thumbnail on YouTube.
