Unbeknownst to you, your mom reached the control panel, and turned the knob to run the sprinklers for 5 minutes, and heads back inside. What she didn't realize was that she set it to 5 hours, not 5 minutes! However, you do feel the ominous rushing of water beneath you. You only get a moment to realize what's about to come before an enormous pillar breaches the sky just a mile away from you, releasing a spray of water. One of the 500 foot wide drops splashes against the grassy tower next to you, and you take that as a sign to get running.
A couple hours have passed, and the sprinklers are still running. You try as hard as you can, but your survival isn't really up to you. Even thought you've been lucky enough to avoid a direct hit from a lake-sized droplet, the sprinkler storm is dampening the dirt around you, turning the jungle into a treacherous swamp. In the beginning you were considering climbing one of the stepping stones, but they were right in the line of fire of a spinning sprinkler. If you were on top, the blast of water might send you right back to the driveway: or worse.
As you continue running through the dense underbrush, what happens?
