I found out the hard way that Slippery Dip has had some water bar work recently. Can't remember how long I was in the air but I know I landed front wheel first and came to a stop 36 meters from the jump. How much of that was sliding on the ground I can't say but I split my helmet, tore all of my clothes and have cuts and bruises on every part of my body. I remember the helmet going "sqoosh" as it absorbed the impact and then waiting for it all to stop. Reckon I must have been going over 40kph but will have to check the GPS to be sure.
