Question #6: The Thrill



When you ride a roller coaster, it would have psychological effects on you even if you weren’t terrified of them already, some researcher’s claim that roller coasters also put a great amount of physiological strain on your body and can even cause death. The thrill of a roller coaster ride with its climbs, loops and dives can increase the heart rate, setting off a dysfunctional heartbeat that could cause heart attacks in people with heart disease. The sociological effects occur when someone may not want to ride a roller coaster and they are effected by observing the behaviors of others while they are on a roller coaster. Most people who ride roller coasters may  yell and scream, this could be very intimidating for someone who is unsure of the experience. If you are a person that enjoys roller coasters, this observation would excite you, but again if you are skeptical this type of reaction could put more fear and strain in the thoughts of getting on the roller coaster yourself.
