            For those unaware.

            “Some early riders came back with lacerations to their bodies, whose cause was later determined to be teeth that had been knocked out of riders’ mouths and become lodged in the interior walls.”

              A former Navy physician found that riders were experiencing as much as nine Gs of acceleration as they went through the loop.

              v2 / r is a bitch.

              This is like reading about early oval racetracks in the US, which were made out of wooden boards: the drivers were getting splinters flying in their faces, aside from a host of other problems.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
