It isn’t the most extreme rollercoaster in existence, like people seem to be implying. At a peak of 4 G’s, that’s in the median for a rollercoaster. Meaning, there’s nothing unusual about the G-forces of the X2 and nothing out of the ordinary was found about it. There are rollercoasters that go up to 6 G’s which aren’t causing people’s brains to explode.
Isn’t it more likely the deaths are coincidences? If 4 G’s was enough to cause fatal brain bleeds, then I’d assume stunt pilots, astronauts, and fighter pilots wouldn’t exist. And you can’t train your brain not to bleed.
What’s actually going on here? The ride was retired earlier today, as well, due to the pressure of the lawsuits: https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/six-flag-magic-mountain-x2-roller-coaster-closure/
I’m asking on Lemmy because when I tried to make an account and post on r/rollercoasters it got auto-modded, so fuck that.


Is this the “drowning in a canal” thing again?
Everyone knows the deep state is lying to you about being able to drown in 4Gs of coaster water!
Of course it was a lie. That’s why they switched everyone to 5G.
I thought that, you can tell because of how thick they are
Is this “The Chav” again? How can you tell?
Mostly the profound ignorance.
