How long can you survive upside down? Doing a headstand for a minute feels like a long time. I would have thought that some people would die after an hour.
Life is a risk let's put ourselves in god's hands that's all we can do 🙏
Hey, that’s the chance you take when you get on those rides. Wouldn’t stop me from riding it! It’s a machine and they do break down occasionally, you just have to hope you’re not on it when it does. Lol.
That is not a roller coaster
My absolute worst nightmare. Freddy Krueger doesn't frighten me. This does.
Another channel quoted investigators saying they "believe the abrupt stop was 'just' a malfunction." I'm sure that makes these riders and their families feel a whole letter better! LOL
I used to be fearless when I was young, but I value my life over having something like this happen in an overpriced tourist trap… These rides run all day, every day. They should to have weekly inspections to meticulously ensure that everything is in working order… These victim's should hopefully be contacting their lawyer's immediately to charge the theme park for their negligence, legal fees, and medical expenses!!!
Your enthusiasm is contagious! I can't help but get excited too.
Red state problems
How can someone even swallow under those conditions
Well im done with roller coasters using virtual roller coasters😂
Lawyers are running their hands together now.
Omg where is the fail safe? Do you hear lawsuit?
Another one was shut down due to a huge crack on one of it's supports.
This is when having a good mind over matter mentality when needed really helps. Scary stuff.
That is so scary, I was stuck upside down in one in San Antonio years ago with 2 children and baby. Never been on one since.
I never ever ride one
I would have died 😢😮
