i remember reading years later they were testing a loopy de loop water ride for people. They realized there was an issue when the human dummies they were using were coming out the other side of the loopy de loop decapitated.
“ They realized there was an issue when the human dummies they were using were coming out the other side of the loopy de loop decapitated.”
In the initial testing that evidently is not that uncommon. We were involved in the build of several rides out at 6 Flags Arlington TX. My boss begged to get to be the first person to ride a roller coaster that is mostly inside a dark building. They told him “no” and after the dummies came back missing arms and heads, he finally understood why. They run g sensor equipment to know how much to dial back the traction motors.
He got to witness the initial test and said he was amazed how violent it was.
I nearly spit coffee out of my mouth!
