This is the funny moment a boy took matters into his own hands and pushed himself down from a waterslide after finding it wasn't slippery enough.

Kik Punika's young son climbed to the top of the flume and prepared to make the thrilling descent at a waterpark in Bangkok, Thailand on May 5.

His excitement was quickly dampened when instead of sliding rapidly along the bumps, he moved at a sluggish pace. Determined to make the most out of the attraction, the boy then used his arms and legs, squirming like a worm before dropping into the pool with an anti-climax.

Speaking of the amusing waterpark fail, Kik said: 'My son was trying so hard to have fun but the slider just wasn't cooperating. Luckily he had the patience to go down by himself.'
