Australian<\/a> high diver Rhiannan Iffland \u2013 a seven-time Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series champion \u2013 is known for her fearless approach to extreme sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She recently made headlines by taking the plunge and going on a waterslide that women are advised not to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an Instagram<\/a> video, Iffland points at the sign showing a woman\u2019s symbol with a red line through it and launches herself down the slide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She captioned the post: \u201cHere for a good time, not a long time! Another YOLO moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The post has sparked significant debate on social media, with viewers questioning whether her decision was bold or reckless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe sign says \u2018due to high risk of injury,’\u201d one user pointed out. \u201cWhy would you still go down?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another said: \u201cThe amount of people that don\u2019t understand why women aren\u2019t supposed to go on this slide is scary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The slide, located at Austria\u2019s popular Area 47 adventure park, is restricted due to the intense water pressure which poses unique risks for women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serious internal injuries and the risk of infection can occur when high-pressure water enters a woman\u2019s body, according to studies published in the National Library of Medicine<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She told News.com.au<\/a>: \u201cIt was never my intent to mock the safety regulations of this water slide. A person\u2019s safety is paramount, and I am constantly weighing up any danger with my job. To suggest otherwise is wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Area 47 park representatives have also responded to the video, providing additional context for the restriction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a spokesperson, per LADBible<\/a>, the slide was originally open to both men and women, but over time, an increase in reported injuries led the park to re-evaluate the ride\u2019s safety for female guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The representative stated: \u201cOur highest priority is ensuring the safety and happiness of all our guests, regardless of gender.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
