Yes, they don't come out inverted like the flying pig but they still come out pretty fast. My kids say they get bumped pretty good in the tube on the way down, not every time but sometimes they bonk elbows and foreheads. They always seem fine, like it's not terrible but i've seen plenty of kids come out of there crying.
