ROLLER COASTERS ACCIDENTS

ROLLER COASTERS ACCIDENTS Being a person who loves roller coasters, has me wondering are they really safe as they can be . Great America in Santa Clara Ca. had a problem on Monday August 10, 2009 with a roller coaster called Vertigo. This similar thing happened back in April 2000, in the same year a boy fell from the Drop Zone roller coaster. I started going to Great America when it first open in the late 70’s. I’ve rode the Vertigo 5 times through out the years. There have been consumer complaints on roller coasters accidents and fatalities throughout this nation over the years. Even though these accidents have occurred, I’m still going to ride. http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_13031694?source=rss http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/archive/2000/04/20/MNR4BA4.DTL http://www.cpsc.gov/CPSCPUB/PREREL/prhtml80/80032.html LM
