A M U S E M E N T P A R K R I D E S Rides of Your Life: When the Thrill is Gone Roller coasters and other amusement park "thrill" rides are in an all-out race for bragging rights as the world's fastest, highest and scariest. With alarming and increasing frequency they are giving thrill seekers considerably more than they bargain for: whiplash, brain hemorrhages, broken limbs and ribs, paralysis, even death. A decade ago, roller coasters averaged 55 miles per hour. Today they average more than 70 and some approach 100 mph. They climb higher, drop more suddenly, whip and swirl more swiftly. And they inflict G forces higher than those endured by astronauts at lift-off. the public a year and a half later, it did set records, but only because its design had been changed during construction to make sure it did. Combined with bad weather, those modifications caused the ride to open without adequate field testing, according to the San Antonio Express-News. Examination of more than 100 injury reports in three months of operation showed that 36 percent were bloody noses, head wounds or mouth injuries, 31 percent were neck injuries, and 20 percent were back injuries. Dozens of personal injury lawsuits soon followed. In January 1998, 27 plaintiffs received a group settlement of $3.5 million. Types of Injury A sampler of cases from the past few years illustrates the seriousness and variety of ride-related accidents and injuries.

Tilt-A-Whirl Tribute One of the best amusement park rides ever invented. Tilt-A-Whirl Tips by Duane Alan Hahn The Tilt-A-Whirl is a near-perfect blend of chaos and skill. Most amusement park rides have two problems: they are devoid of randomness and your participation usually starts and ends with getting in and holding on. No matter how exciting the ride is, you're usually stuck with what you might call a passive experience. You don't have those problems with the Tilt-A-Whirl. Tilt-A-Whirl Randomness You never know which way your car is going to spin. If you sit there and try to do nothing, one minute you could be spinning clockwise and the next minute you're spinning the other way. Tilt-A-Whirl Control The person at the controls can affect your spin at certain times if they want to, but skillful riders can also: Influence the direction of the spin during lulls. Make their car spin faster. Help to defuse the spin in some cases if they are riding with someone who starts to feel sick to their stomach. Tilt-A-Whirl Tip for Newbies You can try to get your car to spin in the direction you'd like during lulls, but if your car seems to be favoring a certain direction, it's usually best to go with the flow. If you don't fight it and choose to help it along, the ride will usually be more enjoyable since you'll get faster spins.

Is It Safe Pregnancy and Amusement Parks Email Email For many people, summer is the time to go to an amusement park and enjoy the sun while riding roller coasters and other exciting thrill rides. Unfortunately, for women who are pregnant, many of the activities found at amusement parks are not recommended. What is the concern with amusement park rides during pregnancy? Disney, Six Flags, Busch Gardens and even your local state fair all pose warning signs not to ride certain rides during pregnancy. Although there are no studies documenting a problem with these types of rides while you are pregnant, there are no studies documenting that they are safe either. The concern with roller coasters, thrill rides, and virtual rides during pregnancy is associated with the rapid starts and stops, the jarring forces, and the pressures against the body that occur during these types of rides. This rigorous activity creates additional jarring forces within the uterus that may lead to premature separation of the placenta from the wall of the uterus, which is called placental abruption The jarring force from even slow automobile accidents has caused placental abruption
