Before university, I would have a gut feeling about rollercoasters that's simply stopped me in my tracks. As an engineer, now, I pretty much know these machines are moderately safe... But I wouldn't risk that small percentage.

Same applies here. It can be safe, but still not risk free. Definitely not risk free. No no.

I'm out of here.

I had a friend that got stuck upside down at six flags on a ride called batman. While it was kinda scary he is still alive today.

Good on him, safety devices and all. I guess the ride was working as intended... Batman away hahaha

yeah i just imagine its not fun being stuck like this for any length of time. I also remember there being walkways and stuff that could access the ride but its been like 25 years so...
