Another Reason To Avoid Roller Coasters 2
Spectators cheered when the riders were brought to the ground from the highest point of a loop on the X-Coaster, but one passenger threw up after reaching safety.
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

When I saw this story, I thought about a safety training session we had at work once. We are required in many situations to wear fall protection harnesses. We are also told that if you do fall and wind up hanging by the harness, 911 help should be summoned immediately, because the human body does not fare well when hanging in one of those harnesses for long periods of time. If that’s true, I have to believe hanging upside down in a roller coaster can’t be much better.

There’s a reason the Feds mandated confined space training.
People were dying.
‘course, Bush probably cancelled that training requirement, for all I know. Wouldn’t sit well with his oil buddies.
