  9. Coaster Terms corkscrew inverted lift hill loops suspended G-force

  10. Coaster Accidents • Most coasters are rigorously inspected • Accidents usually happen because… • Riders disable safety restraints • Ride operators fail to check safety bars • Ride operators taking test rides fail to use safety restraints • Maintenance workers or inspectors are struck by cars
