That's because you are completely at the mercy of the safety precautions that were taken to ensure your safety and you have faith in them. Hi, Well, I always feel vulnerable on a rollercoaster. Always. Of course, I was born with trust issues... I could never believe that the people looking at the safety issues of such things actually either knew what they were doing or did it thoroughly each time they were supposed to do so... I always thought that people liked rollercoasters, though, because they felt that they were cheating death. (in some form or another--a bit like Russian roulette, you know...)
