Roller coasters: Arms up, or arms down?
Roller coasters: Arms up, or arms down?
Simple: do you put your arms up on roller coasters, or do you hold onto the bar?
Personally I find it more fun with my arms in the air, floating above my seat over the hills.

It depends on the rollercoaster for me.

Re: Roller coasters: Arms uo, or arms down?
It depends. on a roller coaster like tatsu its not possible. on and outside roller coaster sure. on one that goes inside of something where there is often bars inside holding the structure up no. im afraid my arms will hit the bars and break or something.
Re: Roller coasters: Arms uo, or arms down?
I find myself lowering my arms a little when the coaster has close (vertical) calls with the supports, even though I think on most coasters you won't hit them; some, it's still a possibility.

Re: Roller coasters: Arms uo, or arms down?
have not rode on one in a while, but it depends, i think as dA/dt ->0+ they are down, but as dA/dt->0- they are up 


Re: Roller coasters: Arms uo, or arms down?
Used to put my hands in the air when I was littler.
Lately I just keep them in my knee or wherever most comfortable.
Strongly dislike the girls - and boys - that scream during a ride (I could write a long post about that). Grow up and let me enjoy the ride?

You have no idea what that means. And I have no idea what's wrong with me...kyle wrote:have not rode on one in a while,

1 arm up, 1 arm in pocket to make sure Epipen/Keys/Cell Phone don't fall out.

For 6'6'', lol. Speaking of which, I've probably grown more than a foot since the last time I rode a rollercoaster, maybe I should keep my arms down, lol.

Roller coasters are so scary that I prefer fetal position......
