I would think playing football would be more hazardous that riding a coaster....however, I would still check with the doc on the whole thing. If the doc clears it, go for it. A neurologist is a brain doc, so i assume it is ok, also my regular doc has ok'd it too, but i think if i had survived the Villain as my first coaster, {ROUGHEST RIDE IN THE WORLD}, and The Beast, it might be ok but i still must be careful.

I think my shunt is rubber, and i get a ct scan on it every year and its been fine, im going to have to get it replaced as im growing, anyway. It is on the outside of my skull under my skin. I do all i can, to protect it i just have a big coaster fetish, and The Beast helped me get over the fear of my shunt . I do not want to bring anything bad to the coaster industry whatsoever, my shunt moves all the time, not that much but it does. My neurologist says that there has been people play football with shunts, so i can as long as i be as careful as i can. I never put my hands in the are, only hold on tho the lap bar, and press my head firmly against my headrest.

I havent loggged in in a while, the villain was my first coaster and i loved. my doctor used to say no contact sports, but also said that there have been people who played it, so i ride coasters as if i am playing football, and take the risk. I have a lot of fun on them, and i listened to my neurologist, and have fun on rollercoasters while still being carefull. i hold on at all times and hold my head steady, if i can especially during my favorite loop {as seen in Vortex} the corkscrew. i also read the signs about head back neck and heart problems. and if i could i love coasters so much that i would just tape a sign to my chest saying, i am riding under my own will, and will not sue. i had the shunt put in when i was three, as i have hydrocephellin

having a shunt in my head, i was afraid to ride many coasters in fear of hurting it. Even though rollercoasters are what i have always desired, except for wooden. until one day i saw The Beast and thought that i would try it. I tried it and know im hooked all coasters especially wooden.

Does the media even know what a corkscrew is LOL.

Thanks for the tip PKIBEAST, I appreciate it, as I 'm new here, I 'll try to do that. You, and every else here is very knowledgible, and I thank you for that.

It's not rough-at least in warm weather. The only gripe Ihave is my short stature puts my ears right against the shoulder restraints-so I get my head banged around a lot. It's not the coasters fault-so in the off season, I think I'm going to design some sort of foam padding that will cushion my brain. I am usually horribly dizzy afterwards from it. Im short too, im only 4,9 I got my head bumped around a lot, but I loved it so much

You guys are the kindest coaster enthusiasts out there, thanks so much. This forum is better than other sites, its the best. Am I right.

Ok, Sorry

Thanks So much, it worked

Im new here and I was just wondering how do you get the avatars underneath your name, please reply Thanx very much

What I meant to say, was that nobody should sue. If anything they should just take it to the ride safety adminestration. I sorry that I was unclear. I do think they should do what ever it takes to make it safe before opening it.

Thanks, The Beast is awesome

Im New Here, Is it weird that I love rollercoasters, (and PKI) so much, that Im practically obsessed with them.

I think that all of your ideas are awesome
