Yup. But it didn't stop me from pridefully never holding on lol. Plus I weigh nothing so I got the added factor of wondering uf I could slip through

Usually. I think "how much vibration of the carts rolling over can these things take before shit starts breaking, and how often do people go up and make sure there's nothing loose along the entire structure?"

There's one wooden coaster at Adventureland in Iowa where you can see the entire thing shift on one side when the carts ride over it. Fuck that shit.

Not really.

I used to be terrified of roller coasters for the longest time. But I forced myself to get over it.

Yeah accidents can happen. But you're much more likely to be injured or killed riding in a car than on a rollercoaster.

I do refuse to ride those shady fair rides usually being operated my methhead drifters though. Fuck that

I've never thought about it tbh but I don't go to janky theme parks in developing countries >_>. I know shit happens in US Theme Parks but I'm sure they are the safest "mode of transportation" if stacked up against road traffic and even air traffic.

Neh. Been to Six Flags, Universal & Busch Gardens. But I got a bad back and waiting in long ass lines to be violently jerked around would be a nightmare for me now lol. It's probably been like 10 years, so I forgot pretty much all of it

I dunno. I think I was like 12-13 or something. I inhaled smoke and blew out all those memories when I exhaled

I used to work at Kings Dominion & Busch Gardens and worked at roller coasters at both of those parks. Every single ride is inspected every single day. In the off season the trains are completely disassembled and inspected and then replaced if needed. The only time I felt that I was going to fall off of a ride was Manta at Sea World in Orlando.

Like someone said, the drive to the park is more dangerous than the rides at the park lol. The most likely malfunction you're going to encounter is going to trigger a shutdown and then you might get stranded for some time but you're not going to die because of that.

I am not worried about their safety. The stuff in Final Destination 3 is wrong in so many ways.
