Was at Uvas today near the dam fishing.. Wasnt getting any bites so i decided to cross the spillway and hit this cove i hit a couple of weeks before. Well dumb ass me took some new shoes over to go fish, I didnt want to get them wet so i took em off and tried it barefooted. BAD IDEA! lmao. Previous week i was wearing some good boots i use for work. Crossed it no problem. So i throw my shoes in my Back Pack and slide down the wall with a beer in one hand and to rods in the other. Make it about half way and the the algae was thick.. i start sliding a lil then plop! right on my side. Well when i tried to get up i started to slide on my side! I picked up speed up sooo fast!!! threw my pole.. swigged the beer chucked it and went on wild ass ride.. it started to spin me backwards.. and i knew there were rocks at the bottom so had spin my self around finally did then notice its get deep before the rocks. Lucky that lil pond at the bottom was there. hit that pond and it slowed me down fast.. Was pretty effen crazy! ended up getting away with just a good size gash in my elbow..when i made it to the top of the spill way again i looked and seen my poles half way across the spillway. so the smart guy i am, i decided to go get em, but this time with my shoes. they were soaked already anyways. . All in all it would be fun if u do it intentionally. Think the next time i will go with my boots or just wait for it to dry! regular shpes were still hella slippery. Had to scrape the algae off with shoes before i put pressure in that spot. BE CAREFUL IF U CROSS! So the rest of the day consists of beer drinking and Bong loads..

oops wrong section.. how do i delete it from this one.. sorry guys..

I've taken a spill like that but not quite as bad. I was at a perc pond where I thought the algae caked on the spillway was dry. Underneath the dry layer it was still saturated with water. I made one step on the steep slope and Whammo! I'm on the cement sliding toward water. I somehow stopped barely before going in the drink.
I think S.J.B. forums should have a dedicated thread for us all to post about those times we have these sort of things happen. It would bring alot of levity to forums. Even though we might get hurt (which is serious stuff I understand) but some of it we can laugh about later
