I went on a new (bought as used from Germany) ride in the same amusement park as in my previous post, Linnanmäki in Helsinki. The ride was open for the first day so of course me and my dad got in the line. It was one of those rides where the cars go through a loop back and forth, stop upside down and so on. There I was sitting with my father next to me and the safety archs come down... except mine didn't lock in place. As the ride starts going I tell this to my dad and for the next I dunno how many minutes he's struggling to keep me from falling with all his strength. Fortunately it was me on the faulty seat instead of him, I doubt I could have helped him from falling down!

Once we got back on firm ground he informed the staff and the infernal machine was taken out of operation indefinitely, or at least I don't remember that they ever managed to repair it.

deep memory unlocked: There's a wooden coaster called The Cheetah at Wild Adventures in Georgia, I was definitely too short to ride but my dad was like "ehh cmon guy" and they let us on. This seemed like a Cool Dad Move until, on the downslope portions, we discovered that my tiny child body likes to fall slower than the roller coaster. We discovered this because I lifted out of the seat and had to physically pull myself down in order to just not fly up and out. I was so small and skinny, he had to hold me down for the rest of the ride.
Really blew a hole in his "there's no reason to be scared of it" theory.

That's not how gravity works :psyduck:

Either everybody was lifted out of their seats, or nobody was, and looking at those restraints, I'm going with "nobody".

It's an apparent effect. As you crest a hill, your momentum is upward. The coaster starts going down and you feel lifted out of your seat as the restraints act on you to pull you down with the coaster.

It's not that you fall slower than the coaster, it's that the coaster starts falling before you do.

well I think if you're not too short to be riding, you'd be caught by the lap bar no problem. I was about 7 so I didn't take the time to do the math on the physics involved, do let me know what you come up with.

E: I googled it and what I'm guessing you're seeing is not the same restraints as I experienced, it was just a pull-in lap bar, they changed the carts later on.

In the end, while my traumatizing experience gave me years of nightmares, in the end it got me super interested in how rollercoasters work and I studied to become the guy who takes care of the maintenance of every machine in the park and now they know me as the Amusement Park Killer :murder:

Or I just took it as an excitingly scary experience as no one was hurt. I've hurt myself worse with bicycles as a kid but that never stopped me from climbing back on either... or maybe I'm just too stupid to learn. :dumb:

The roller coaster has a lot more mass relative to its ærodynamic drag.

They break down everywhere, you only hear about it when they break down on the train tracks.
