roller coaster whiners

i just heard a huge load of bull on the news..

a guy somewhere, a senator or something, i dont remember, is whining because he thinks roller coasters are too dangerous.. he has doctors claiming they cause brain damage..

i think this is so lame..

he wants "g force limits" since normal people dont go through "astronaut training"...

most coasters only peak around 4g, which i would say is comperable to driving a car at high speeds while turning, ect..

i have seen many shows on discovery.. discovery science.. none of them mentionioning any of this.. thats because there is no real problem..

i think he is just a fool, and wants attention..

and yes.. i know this topic gives him that attention.. but its strictly negative

well, they're afraid that the warnings they have aren't enough. they need to get it so that we are warned about every possible thing, like the windshield sun screens with the "don't drive with this in place" warning label.

I hate rollercoasters. I heard there is a big rollercoaster park here in Denver, but I wouldn't be caught dead there. I hate them.

that's a shame, one of the coasters at that park is one of the best ones i've ever ridden, and the only hanging coaster i've ever liked. forgot the name of it though since it's been years since i've been there. personally i LOVE roller coasters. but to each his (or in this case her) own.
