Coasters to Face G-Force Limits?

Posted by chrisd on from the but-is-the-tilt-a-whirl-is-still-safe dept.

jonerik writes "NBC News is reporting that today New Jersey will begin examining the possibility of placing limits on roller coaster G-forces. Pointing out that the G-forces on coasters are considerably greater than even those experienced by astronauts and race car drivers, legislators on both the state and national levels want to start reining in coaster G-forces which have been blamed for a number of injuries and deaths over the past few years. Pansies. Why do they think people ride roller coasters to begin with?"

    First off, you are a fucking asshole! You complete dick, you spoiled(to a admittedly small extent) EP2 for me. Why the fuck did you feel the need to do that? Fucking asshole...

    Second, if your 16 yo cousing blacked out on a roller coaster and continued to have blackout problems for a few months afterwards, there was almost definately ALREADY SOMETHING WRONG!!

    Third, you asshole! WTF is wrong with you? Why do you feel the need to be an ass?
