because even though gravity is acting on you, the bars or seatbelts will overcome your inertia (newton's law where you keep moving until another force acts on you) with am larger force, thus keeping you in your seat.

Why does a roller coaster go upside down?
They wanted to make new kinds of roller coasters just like they wanted to make them higher.
How do roller coaster go fast?
Roller Coasters go fast because they use gravity to their advantage. Because the cars weigh a lot, they fall at very high speeds from high in the air. Some of the new roller coasters being built also are propelled forward using the force created by high powered magnets.
What forces make roller coasters thrilling?
The rapid change and rise and fall of air pressure sends certain signals to our brain so we can feel the adrenaline that usually comes with riding a roller coaster.
Can Roller Coaster Pieces Fall Off?
Roller coaster pieces can fall off, although it very unlikely. A roller coast is a piece of machinery and can break of malfunction like anything else. For safety reasons, roller coasters undergo rigorous inspections and frequent maintenance so the chances of a piece falling off is extremely unlikely.
What are the early disasters of roller coasters?
Modern roller coasters are quite safe; they have many checks and are monitored often to ensure they remain safe. However, ride accidents do occur. People who aren't riding can be hit by the coaster if they enter the coaster area. As well, people who are too small can fall out of the ride if they aren't secured safely.
How do you stay in a roller coaster if their was no seatbelts or anything to hold us down?
You wouldn't. The last answer is sort of true, but that only applies for loops, and possibly for non inverting coasters. Without restraints (coasters don't have seat belts) you would fall out at some point.
Do roller coasters have seat belts?
not just seat belts. Harnesses, which are much more secure. There are lap bars, which on some coasters, like intimidator 305 in kings island VA, really hurt. There are also over-the shoulder bars which are on coasters like bizarro at Six flags great adventure

Can your head fall off if you go upside down on a roller coaster?
It is time for you to start to think and to use some logic. If your question was true roller coasters would be impossible to have because people's heads would be everywhere and they would be dead. I imagine that you have hung upside down at some point on monkey bars. Did your head fall off? I suggest before you ask a question like this you stop and think a bit and imagine what the rest of the world thinks about such a question. To whomever answered this question: Thank you.
When do riders free-fall on a roller coaster?
Well in roller coasters there is potential and kinetic energy. So when the roller coaster is getting pulled up it is using kinetic energy while gaining potential energy. So the potential energy it gained is used while going down and not being pulled.
