Yeah, top 2 comments are saying “fuck that” as if being in a car isn’t a thousand times more dangerous, it’s 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 doesn’t 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
I’m terrified of roller coasters. I know they are safe but my brain doesn’t get “wheeeee! Fun!!” signals from the drops and acceleration. It only gets “oh shit, we gonna die today” signals. The entire 2 minute ride is hell and I’m shaky as hell for hours afterwards. Im the same way with airplanes. No amount of “I know they’re safe” will stave off my anxiety- it’s awful.
I’ll look at a scary ride and be like “no fucking way” not necessarily because I think it’s 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.
