This is pretty gross. I could not image anything this terrible would actually happen. Talk about something strait out of a final destination movie... Yikes!:skull:

I have long hair. And I am never <i>ever</i> going on a roller coaster again.

:P

Seriously though, that's not a nice thing to happen. :sigh:

but rollercoasters are so fun! :-\
(honestly.. if he was one of the coaster operators, you'd think they'd have safety regulations on things like hair and other.. um.. long objects ;) - more common sense than anything)

I don't feel safe riding County Fair Rides. They are constantly taken apart and put back together, I'll do all my riding at amusement parks.

Ow *rubs scalp* that would hurt like hell.

You know, they build dangling rollercoasters so you don't have to try that.

I COMPLETELY agree - with the amount of times those things are disabled and put together by carnies - I will just stick with the amusement parks!

Just make sure you have scissors with you when you go near a roller coaster!
