water slide
Because the slide was an enclosed tube, there was no way for Adrian to see that the girl was still sitting at the end of the slide, so he enjoyed the ride.
Unfortunately, at the end of the video, viewers can see the adult man collide with the girl. She is heard screaming and can be seen flipping into the spraying water as the video ends.
You can watch the video here:
"They (lifeguards) told me to go, and I hit a little girl!"
"You can hear her scream. I'm glad she was okay!"
"Lifeguards need to pay more attention!"
It was featured on Adrian's channel, which is dedicated to family and featuring rides at major theme parks in California, including Island Water Park, Wild Waters, and Santa Cruz.
The video quickly garnered 12.7 million views, as well as over 25 thousand comments, which were divided over what had occurred.
Despite her being a minor, some couldn't help but blame the girl for being in the way.

But there were some who were furious like Adrian, who had captioned the video with, "Dumb lifeguards!"

It's hard to say who is at fault here, or if it was simply an accident.
Since the girl was old enough to go down the slide alone, she likely should have known that she needed to exit the slide immediately upon her ride being over, to get out of the way for the next person.
By that same token, however, the lifeguards had directed her to go down the slide and probably should have more carefully watched to ensure that she did, in fact, exit the slide before sending someone down. No matter someone's age, that likely should be standard safety protocol.
Likely the only one here who couldn't be blamed in any way would be Adrian, who was simply following orders and at least drawing attention to the incident after the fact, to ensure something like it did not happen again.
