Which one is scarier, skydiving or roller coaster?

Roller coasters are scary.

The speed of roller coaster scares is very fast. It is difficult for the human body to adjust to such rapid changes in gravity in a short period of time, and the changes are unpredictable. Many people have the fear of losing control. .

The feeling of gravity in skydiving is slow. After all, there is downward gravity and air resistance. The change of gravity has a process, and you will not fall instantly, and the weightlessness is when you exit the aircraft cabin. Some time, other times will not appear.

Each carriage of most roller coasters can accommodate 2, 4, 6, or 8 people. These carriages are connected to each other using hooks, just like a train.

At its most basic level, a roller coaster is nothing more than a machine that uses gravity and inertia to move a train along a winding track. The movie "Death Comes 3" claims that the accident rate of roller coasters is about 1/250 million. In reality, the real number may be even lower.

According to a survey by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Six Flags Amusement Park (SixFlags), the mortality rate after riding a roller coaster in 2001 was approximately 1/1.5 billion. This means that tourists are more likely to die while driving to an amusement park.
