They make much more affordable versions similiar to this (you see it on extreme make-over all the time), it just doesn't look as custom as this.

@Hiphopopotamus: Great idea!

Since one would have to build the bathroom around the tub anyway - put the tub at one end of a long - long hallway style room - and just have the Slip-n-Slide built right into the floor base as well_

And for those nay-sayeers about falling into the tub - saftey concerns or whatnot - if someone spends that much money on the damned thing - and they were worried about it - you think they could request a cover for the opening that sits flush with the floor?

It's obviously not for people with kids.

However I'm a bit dismayed at how many adults seem to think they'd have trouble with it.
Think of it as evolution in action.

Easily fixed. Have a metal artist build an oval, interlocking series of dragons flying (or other fence-renderable art to your taste) equal to the diameter of the tub; when the tub in use, it elevates to the ceiling and serves as a fancy light fixture; when the tub is empty, it lowers and serves as a safety barrier so that visiting Giz writers don't stumble into it while searching for the extra roll of toilet paper.

Although that tub needs to be about twice as large, at a minimum. How are you going to frolic in a one-person tub?

It's cool. Dude. Doubt it would pose a threat to people's lives. Unless they're inattentive dumbasses. Then it would be trouble.

That would make a hot chick wet. Looks nice. Love it. Actually, I will buy one. When I get rich. Which will be never. So I might as well forget about it. Yeah. It's nice though.

ya know...for more less then half the price of that thing you could throw a sledge hammer to the floor and put some saran wrap all over the whole you've now made and fill the thing with water from the house in your yard... That I believe, is the "commoners" designer bath mansion

@KenK: The people that buy these do not clean their own bathrooms. The pubic hair will be cleaned by the same person that wipes their rich asses.

I thank god I stumbled upon this post because I dare not even dream of what might have happened had I stumbled upon this tub before being properly prepared. Thank you, Gizmodo. You are much more than a gadget blog; you are salvation itself.

So how do you keep the pubic hairs/dust bunnies from collecting in it? It is a bathroom floor after all. Oh wait, rich people shave their entire bodies... never mind.

Would it ruin the design and grace of this if I also installed a Slip N Slide with it?

"dangerous, gaping hole in the floor"

and what, pray tell, would you call a swimming pool in the backyard?

I'm pretty certain that if the fools pay to have it installed in their bathroom (or, as you say - have the bathroom built around it) they're going to know it's THERE - since they probably paid a whole lot of coin for it. It's not like it's going to be "hey - what the hell is this huge gaping hole in my bathroom floor????"

jedimaster0103 — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 21:05:09 EDT

The...what would you call it, floor? The floor around the tub with the slits in it is a good idea, sliding into a tub filled to the brim would make for a spill, and yet another reason to go tumbling into the giant hole in the floor.

shikaningen — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 21:04:15 EDT

No more dangerous than a traditional tub, which if you trip over, your face flies right into a hard tile surface, whether that be the floor or the wall (depends on whether your getting out or in).

Roman style... now all you need is the orgy to go with it. but, if you can afford a Teuco tub, 3-4 hookers should not be a problem.
