The winter sport of slush puddle vaulting is a game we’ve all played before.

Thank you mystery innovator, as many soakers were certainly avoided.

Great for pedestrians, but not for motorists or cyclists. Those skids, full of nails, are a recipe for an quick flat or twenty.
There's a really interesting discussion of these taking place on Spacing.
