The slide was open for only a month in 1985 before it was closed at the order of the state’s Advisory Board on Carnival Amusement Ride Safety, a highly unusual move at the time. One worker told a local newspaper that “there were too many bloody noses and back injuries” from riders. Some early riders came back with lacerations to their bodies; when the ride was closed to determine what had caused them, teeth that had fallen out were found 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.
Yikes. I was at Noah’s Ark in Wisconsin Dells a few years back, and they had a drop slide with a loop in it that was super fun…it was much larger though and definitely didn’t put me through 9 Gs
A reminder for anyone who doesn’t know:
You’ve reminded me of something

I would say “work” is a relative term here.

Imagine passing out and then waking up mid loop.
Haha, yes, it works breaking necks!
