when was the first water slide made
Sellner was a resident of Faribault, MN, who made a living designing things. Originally it was furniture, then it was childrenâs toys. What really made Sellner famous, though, was an invention he created in 1923: the Water-Toboggan Slide. Sellnerâs creation was the first water slide ever made. He built a large wooden slide that went out over the water. Children (or adults) would climb to the top with a sled and slide down. When they hit the water, the sleds didnât sink. Instead, they went shooting out over the water up to 100 feet.
