Can you get sick from riding on roller coasters?

Answer 1

There is 1 in 300 million chance of dying in a roller coaster accident. You have better chance of dying from Heart disease, cancer, or even crossing the street. ^And usually that's because people get on with heart problems or other health risks, OR from stupid people on wooden coasters that have looser fit lapbars that wedge themselves out to stand up.

Answer 2

"Getting sick from" a roller coaster can happen in two main ways:

1. nausea or vomiting during the ride or immediately after. This is typically a result of G-forces and ear pressure changes, both of which can upset equilibrium. If you get dizzy easily, have an active ear infection, or have chronic ear problems, it may be best to avoid fast-moving rides.
2. nausea, vomiting or diarrhea anywhere from 1 to 7 days later. This is typically a result of germs left by previous riders that are picked up on the hands from the grab bar. It's always a good idea to wash your hands thoroughly after each ride. Some people carry liquid bacterial hand sanitizers with them, but studies show that these sanitizers do not remove all germs. Hand washing in flowing water with soap while singing one chorus of "Happy Birthday" remains the best prevention from sharing germs. Until you get your hands washed, avoid touching your face, especially the eyes, nose, and mouth. Avoid touching foods you are eating or the end of the straw on drinks.

Answer 3

No, a sit-down roller coaster is designed to hold you in place while standing up and their is no way that you can sit down on it because the type of harness that keeps you in place during the ride will not let you sit down. Either the roller coaster is a sit-down roller coaster which means you have to sit down, or it is a stand-up roller coaster which means you have to stand up to be able to ride.
