Call him the Usain Bolt of water parks — a guy in Jamaica stuck the most amazing water slide landing … in fact, it’s almost unbelievable! If you thought gliding over water went out of style about 2000 years ago, you gotta see what this guy…

Trista Sutter Shares Family Images Following Seizure
Trista Sutter has not had the best few days, but it seems like things are slowly but surely returning to normal for her.
The Bachelorette alum, who found love on the show way back in 2003 took to Instagram once again with a string of posts that showed just how thankful she was to have her beautiful family with her.
“My knight in shining armor. ✨ #loveofmylife #grateful,” the reality TV veteran shared with her 205,000 followers in the wake of her horrifying ordeal during a bus journey in Croatia.
It’s clear the original Bachelorette is ready to move on from her horrifying ordeal and is only thinking happy thoughts in the aftermath.
“They make everything better. ❤️ #family #lovethesehumans #grateful #lifeisshort #lifeissweet #lifeiswhatyoumakeit #croatia2017 #adventure #oldtowndubrovnik,” she captioned the above picture with Ryan and her two children, Max and Blakesley.
The family was actually in Croatia when Trista took unwell on a bus journey and took a seizure in front of her husband and children.
Trista’s original statement, confirming her seizure reads:
This was me yesterday. …two hours after I had a seizure. …two hours after I fell on my daughter’s chest & she watched, along with her brother & grandparents, in confusion & horror as her mommy stared blankly off into the distance & started turning blue. …two hours after we were supposed to have an adventure.
An adventure to one of the most beautiful National Parks in Europe. Instead, I ended up in a euphoric white dream that the voices of my husband and daughter pulled me from and I ended up in a Croatian hospital being poked and prodded and wondering “why me?” But today, I had to ask, “why not me”? I’m human.
I have an expiration date. I’ve always envisioned that date being sometime after my kids have graduated college, met the loves of their lives and created families of their own, but I was reminded yesterday that it could come anytime, in any country, whether I’m surrounded by strangers or people I love, or neither, or both. I’ve never been perfect and I never will be, but from here on out, I vow to try my best to live this life to the fullest.
To embrace gratitude and the lessons I wrote about over 3 years ago with a newly acquired perspective. To stress less. To love more. To listen. Be kind. Spread joy. To be a better version of myself as a wife, mother, sister, cousin, niece, aunt, neighbor, daughter, and friend. Thank you to those back in the states, whom I hold dear. You know who you are. Thank you to those I’ve never met who lift me up and have my back.
Thank you to those from my #bachelornation family who’ve shown this OG kindness & respect when I know I’m old news. Thank you to the kind tourists & Croatians who held my hand, wiped my tears, and hugged my kids. You will forever be remembered. And lastly, thank you to my family, especially @ryansutter.
Without you, I don’t know that I would be here today. You are my everything and I love you forevermore. If you’ve gotten this far, know that I don’t share these words for your pity, but to inspire you to take them and be thankful for your life and blessings.
Tell the people you love how you feel and live with grateful enthusiasm. I plan to.
We can’t even begin to imagine how scary the incident must have been for everyone involved, but we are so happy Trista appears to be on the mend and is enjoying the rest of her vacation with her family.
Ryan took to Instagram just yesterday to thank everyone for the outpouring of support for his wife.
His statement reads:
I’ve had this picture to post for a few days. I just haven’t been sure what to say? Like my mind, the photo has sat as a “draft.” In limbo. A bit confused.
It was taken one day after my wife, unexpectedly and without a definitive cause, seized violently in front of her family on a shuttle bus full of strangers. In almost 17 years as a firefighter, my experience has trained me to address the immediate emergency.
However, little in my 42 years of life prepared me for the confusion and contemplation that remains after the tide of immediacy has settled. What has helped is the outpouring of kindness received from our friends, family and even those that we’ve never personally met.
Without a doubt, you have been instrumental in the healing process and a humbling source of strength for @tristasutter and I. So, with that message, I post this simple picture. It’s my wife – at her best- capturing life as she always has, though now through a more meaningful lens…
What do you think about all of this?

Rihanna Hilariously Claps Back at Body-Shamers with Gucci Mane Meme!
Forget every politician you’ve ever loved or hated — memes are the real great communicators.
And that’s exactly how Rihanna’s seen fit to respond to body-shaming. With a meme.
Bless her, honestly.
Rihanna’s kind of amazing.
Her music is wonderful and she’s a stellar performer.
… Though Tom Holland did recently one-up her performance of Umbrella. But that’s no insult to her.
Unfortunately, like all female celebrities and most female humans, she’s subject to body-shaming.
Part of it’s standard misogyny familiar to many women, part of it’s her celebrity status meaning that all eyes are on her.
Some people just can’t resist wondering if she’s pregnant if the wind so much as makes her top billow out in front.
So, as you can imagine, these same people had a field day when she showed up wearing an outfit that could have covered two Rihannas.
That’s a baggy outfit, sure.
Baggy enough that, in addition to an infamous “Is Rihanna going to make being fat the hot new trend?” article, pregnancy rumors resurfaced with gusto.
But if every time that people wore baggy clothes, it meant a pregnancy, we’d live in a world of perpetual, universal pregnancy.
And no small number of “medical miracles,” since there’s no shortage of cisgender men who favor loose-fitting clothes.
Well, Rihanna finally clapped back.
She’s known for being pretty savvy about social media and memes in particular — so she’s in way less of a celebrity bubble than most.
Now, this meme isn’t exactly body-positive.
Or nice to Gucci Mane.
Or nice to overweight people in general, if we’re being honest.
But she didn’t invent it — she’s just using it to communicate.
Her point? It’s a little ambiguous, since memes have a lot to do with context.
But we think that part of it is poking fun at the people who are obsessed with her body size.
Another part is just the meme’s straightforward meaning — that even if she were fat, she’d still be Rihanna.
Any of her real fans will still adore her.
She’s not gonna care about the haters either way.
Perhaps, even more to the point, it was an indirect way of saying that yes, she’s seen that nasty Barstool Sports article floating around.
This is exactly how we’d expect her to respond: coyly and with a meme.
Remember, this is the woman who’s currently planning to do a film with Lupita Nyong’o based on a popular Tumblr post.
Rihanna’s an artist of the people, and she knows how to speak their language.
