Brains and Roller Coasters
January 11, 2003 04:29 PM
I wonder if one can maintain his sanity after a ride in a dragster style roller coaster which moves 420 feet up from ground, take a 270 degree turn and move down, all at 120 miles per hour and in 20 seconds. Unfortunately some people don't. Like this medical case says about a 47-year old who had a similar ride. I'd prefer rappling down a 1200ft mountain face than hurtling down at 1.4G from a 420 feet tower. Atleast, I have control in the earlier case.
