I always thought that people liked roller coasters, though, because 
they felt that they were cheating death.

____

People who like roller coasters have an ability to relinquish some 
measure of personal control over their environment, and also take 
pleasure in the risk of trust. Roller coaster riding is part of an 
attitude toward the world. In other words, I would argue that liking 
roller coasters is symptomatic of surrendering to something rather than 
cheating something.
