A roller coaster can accelerate by using gravity, propulsion systems, or magnetic forces. Gravity pulls the coaster down slopes, propulsion systems like motors or launch systems provide additional speed, and magnetic forces can propel the coaster forward using magnetic fields.

Why dont you fall from roller coaster ride when we are upside down?

That is because the roller coaster is designed to accelerate you with enough force to experience more than 1G acceleration. When upside down you are being pulled down with 1G but up with more than 1G so net force is up, not down. Some rides give you 2-3 G up force.
