How rollercoasters affect your body - Brian D. Avery

From the creator

Dig into the engineering of rollercoasters, and explore how these thrilling rides are built to be scary and safe at the same time. -- In 1895, crowds flooded Coney Island to see America’s first-ever looping coaster: the Flip Flap Railway. But its thrilling flip caused cases of severe whiplash, neck injury and even ejections. Today, coasters can pull off far more exciting tricks and do it safely. Brian D. Avery investigates what rollercoasters are doing to your body and how they’ve managed to get scarier and safer at the same time. Lesson by Brian D. Avery, directed by Stretch Films Inc.
