Index Number: 9041 [This is from the Spinal Injury Conference] I've heard from a few people that it is possible to ride 'Coasters at many parks if someone accompanying you gets you in. Do you know if there is any limit concerning level of injury or physical capability? Any hints as to the ins and outs of 'Coaster riding? I love Rollercoasters, but since my injury I haven't seriously thought about the possibility of riding again. Based on your message to Chad Harris (22 Jun 90) you have experienced quite a lot of Rollercoaster riding. Certainly would appreciate hearing about it. Thanks -- Guy M.

Do you Today most parks are very willing to let you ride at your own risk. They require you to provide your own assistants. I had a friend who would pick me up bodily and put me in the coaster. We were all sorta the rebel type and didn't give them a chance. If all else failed we threaten to come back with a reporter and picket. It was fun. I suggest a cushion if the coaster seats are not padded because of the shearing forces on the butt. Try a coaster with lap and seat harness first to check on your upper body stability. Go for it. -=joe=- -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!150!140!Joe.Chamberlain Internet: Joe.Chamberlain@f140.n150.z1.fidonet.org
