I saw a story on a news show like 60 Minutes, at least 20 years ago about Slip and Slide being incredibly dangerous for adults, because the force of the person's weight slamming into the spine when the person goes into "slide" mode on their stomach can cause these exact kinds of injuries. It is only designed for kids. Not sure of what happened here, but it's likely he suffered the spinal cord injury before he even got into to the pool. The danger of this kind of activity has been out there for a long time. Very sad for the fraternity, but the advisers should have shut this idea down immediately.
