Answer 1

look there is a 1 in a billion chance you die on a ride they were probly realy old and couldn't take the g's or it's just a hoax maybe they did something stuid like atempt to stand up

ive been on lots of roller caosters and the upside down ones are the safest as you are held in and when you go upsidedown the central fugal force keeps you in your seat so relax a bit never belive everything

Answer 2

Just imagine how cool it would be if you were on a roller coaster that flew off the tracks, and Soared like 100 feet in the air before plummeting to the ground. Now THAT would be worth dying for.!!!! Riding a roller coaster where people have died is awesome. It really increase the sence of authenticity of the near death experience, because you are praying that they have fixed the cause of death!!!!



Maybe start out on the kiddie coasters to get warmed up :)

Answer 3

People that die from Roller Coasters usually have some sort of illness and it wasn't due to the roller coaster itself. Roller coasters are extremely safe. Even more safe than driving a car. Think about it, millions of people die in auto accidents every year. And 3 people have died on this roller coaster since it has ever been built. You have NOTHING to worry about. The best think to do is face your fear and just think of the statistics. Good luck!

Answer 4

Oh, I was scared of rollercoasters too, but think about how many people go on this stuff. Three in thousands is VERY few, and you're more likely to die from a car accident than a rollercoaster.



Think positively, the first time I tried a rollercoaster, I was scared, but I loved it.

Answer 5

Whenever they say that someone died on a rollercoaster it is usually not the rides fault. People have pre-existing conditions before they go on the ride. If you are visiting Disney World, before each ride there is a list that tells you that you shouldn't go on if you have certain conditions. Don't be afraid, and going on the ride will be totally worth it.

Answer 6

yes 3 people ahve died on these rollercoasters but unfortunatly it was of heart problams no1 has died from falling or being knocked out by rides theres nothing really to be scared about once i used to be scared of upside down rides but then i went on some slower rides and built up to upside down ones so dont worry nothing will go wrong



hope this helped =]

Answer 7

Heres the thing! The people that have died in amusement parks died because of they did something stupid like stand-up during a moving ride, crawl over restricted fences, unbuckled their seat belts....etc. Just remember that there are safety rules for a reason! Follow these rules and you will be safe and have fun!

Answer 8

Who said you have to ride them. I'm afraid too. Being in one that goes up side down would be scary. I have a problem though because I freaked out when I went in a smaller ride because it was moderately d=fast...it made many turns and the reason I freaked out was because it was yanking me from side to side and I felt I had no control. I also have a weak stomach so i got really sick when it went down really fast. People say roller coasters are really fun, but I'm never going to ride one, and you don;t have to.

Answer 9

Well what you can do is, try going down really big slides, or go to other amusement parks in town and go on their roller coasters. When you get to six flags, try their smaller rides, then work your way up my friend until you can take on the big ones. It's all just starting small, and working you way up to your fear. A great method for going on a roller coaster: Scream, scream like you think you're going to die. And when you go down the hills close your eyes! it really helps. :)

Answer 10

I'm still afraid of rollercoasters, but think positive. Only a few people die in those accidents and thats why I don't trust them that much, but you could still have fun riding on one though so be brave =].

Answer 11

Go on with people who won't let you back down or would think low of you if you didn't go on. And just remember that the chances of death are too low to even consider. I used to be scared of roller coasters, and still am a little, but you just gotta live it up and overcome your fears.

Answer 12

Just go on one and then keep building up as you go. You have more of a chance dying on the way to an amusement park then acutally dying on one of the rides, its a proven fact ;).

Answer 13

well if you went on the rides before than you would have an idea of what there like so just stick with the positive witch is if you went there before and rode the rides than you don't have anything to worry about...

Answer 14

everybody is afraid of something.

3 people may have died on that, but thousands have died in lets say car recks, an you still ride them. or tornadoes, you dont live in a basement!! good luck, have fun.

Answer 15

you think your going to die on a ride ?



everyone has those doubts



close your eyes and hold your hands up high



either enjoy or dont go on simple



av a good hol (Y)

Answer 16

don't be worried,

You have more chance of dying on a plane,

And they wouldnt be open if they wernt safe.

Most of the people that die are stupid kids that dont obey the rules! Lol

Have a great hol.
