Naked riders take tilt at record

An attempt to break the world record for the number of naked rollercoaster riders has taken place at a Staffordshire theme park. Thirty-two nude people attempted to ride the Nemesis at Alton Towers, in which thrill-seekers are suspended at four times the force of gravity.

A TV company filmed the stunt to mark the 50th anniversary of the Guinness Book of Records.

The aim was to beat the record set by 28 riders at Thorpe Park, Surrey.

A spokesman from Alton Towers confirmed the attempt took place but said they could not reveal whether the record was broken before the programme was shown on 11 September.

Yeah, I really want to sit in one of those seats after they've been butt-printed.

LOL!!
Makes for some pretty bad jokes about gravity and support.
(I sense some demented marketing type could drum up a new Wonderbra commercial from it.)
