Photo / Getty, FileA US reality TV show centred on a giant slip 'n slide has been forced to halt production after an outbreak of "explosive diarrhoea". Generations of Kiwi kids have grown up enjoying the simple pleasures of a backyard slip 'n slide and recently, even adults have been getting in on the act. Unfortunately for the producers of NBC's Ultimate Slip 'N Slide, the production of the show, which features a 65ft slide, was halted after 40 crewmembers were struck down with "explosive diarrhoea" as a result of giardia infection.
