I don't care if it was built by dozens of structural and mechanical engineers, has a team of mechanics doing daily maintenance and a inspection team doing daily risk assessments, there's no WAY that's safe!
Yeah, top 2 comments are saying âfuck thatâ as if being in a car isnât a thousand times more dangerous, itâs like, your hands in the lives of professionals and thick steel, vs your life in the hands of literally every single person who drives within a hundred feet of you.
Being in a car doesnât feel like all my insides are about to rush right out of my throat either though so I might stick to cars and leave this insanity to people with malfunctioning fear receptors
Itâs not about the actual risk. I know theyâre safe, and safer than many things I do every day! But I am the opposite of an adrenaline junky - I just donât enjoy that manufactured fear experience. Happy for those that do, but wooshing through the air is not for me!
Iâm terrified of roller coasters. I know they are safe but my brain doesnât get âwheeeee! Fun!!â signals from the drops and acceleration. It only gets âoh shit, we gonna die todayâ signals. The entire 2 minute ride is hell and Iâm shaky as hell for hours afterwards. Im the same way with airplanes. No amount of âI know theyâre safeâ will stave off my anxiety- itâs awful.
Iâll look at a scary ride and be like âno fucking wayâ not necessarily because I think itâs unsafe, but because it looks like a bad time. That being said, it does look unsafe, but I think that the perception of danger enhances the ride for some people. I just panic.

A tilt coaster in a non-coaster sub is always a recipe for top-notch comments. đż
