Why in the world you have to be so tall to ride the really good roller coasters?

They use sandbags and dummies to test, they'd ride them themselves before they open them to the public.

Wouldn't that be an awesome job?

The reason roller coasters as fun as they are is because they make us think we're in danger, even though we're really not.

Not only do you get the thrill of moving really fast and dropping really far, but because you're afraid, your body starts to react.
你不仅会获得快速移动和坠落的快感，而且因为你很害怕，你的身体也会开始有些反应。
Your heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and adrenaline level goes up.
