After the local amusement park had an issue leading to death in one of the rides, I feel redeemed in not wanting to ride these things.
This was in Sweden as well - we generally have good safety records, and it still can't be done safely here apparently.
this is why i never go to amusement parks. it’s not because im too scared to get on the roller coasters. it is a completely logical and level headed decision.
An a Brit, I've never seen "Documentaries" like this. We have David Attenborough
That’s nice, deary.
Action Park!
A reminder for anyone who doesn’t know:
wait does that work?
The slide was open for only a month in 1985 before it was closed at the order of the state's Advisory Board on Carnival Amusement Ride Safety, a highly unusual move at the time. One worker told a local newspaper that "there were too many bloody noses and back injuries" from riders. Some early riders came back with lacerations to their bodies; when the ride was closed to determine what had caused them, teeth that had fallen out were found lodged in the interior walls. A former Navy physician found that riders were experiencing as much as nine Gs of acceleration as they went through the loop.

I would say “work” is a relative term here.
Yikes. I was at Noah's Ark in Wisconsin Dells a few years back, and they had a drop slide with a loop in it that was super fun...it was much larger though and definitely didn't put me through 9 Gs
Haha, yes, it works breaking necks!
You've reminded me of something
