WATCH: cruise passenger becomes stuck in waterslide

A cruise passenger has been caught on camera living out our claustrophobic nightmares after she became stuck in a waterslide onboard a cruise ship.

The footage, which was posted to TikTok by travel agent @YMG_Travels over the weekend, was reportedly filmed on Norwegian Cruise Lines’ Norwegian Encore and shows a woman riding the line’s Ocean Loops slide.

The slide features an enclosed tube with clear panels that shoots the rider into a double-loop from the top deck over the ocean and back, akin to a roller coaster.

In the video, which is appropriately accompanied by Kreepa’s Oh No, we get an on-looker view of the woman clearing the first loop before losing momentum and beginning to slide backwards.

She winds up landing in the lowest part of the slide that sits over the ocean.

However, the passenger appears to keep her cool, sitting up, wiping her face and crawling out of sight.

The video has since gone viral, clocking 15.8 million views so far.

YMGTravels told Fox News that Norwegian staff acted fast to get the woman out of the slide.

“The lady was not stuck in the water slide for long,” the TikToker said.

“There is a side door for the slide and she was out of it immediately.”

It happened so quickly, YMGTravels said, that by the time they walked towards the slide the woman was already out and ready to do the slide again.

The mysterious woman is far braver than we are, that’s for sure.
