Ride of your death?

Don't like them at the best of times but its a very odd concept

[ummmm]

I love them....I'd be happy to go that way.

[chelle7272]

yep me too!

Much better than expiring in a chair in your house and being eaten by your pets before you are found.

[Kiki-frog]

Scary. I think I'd rather go at home and be eaten by the cats and dog, jjayne. At least they wouldn't go hungry.

[joggerjayne]

That's a plus!

[Frank97]

At least no one would be queuing up for a second go.

I am not sure about this at all but I will add it to my list of acceptable suicide methods.

JJ's comment about being eaten by our furry friends was something my friend and I were discussing yesterday morning. :-)

[pa___ul3]

that'd suit me too, I've always thought I'd like to go in a rush of adrenaline, I was thinking maybe a parachute jump without the parachute, but this would be a lot less messy!

[TheOtherHalf]

You would never get me on any ride like this. Alive or dead ! Are the relatives going to stand and watch and cheer ?

[joggerjayne]

The "eaten by pets" scenario is from Bridget Jones' Diary".

It's how she imagines she will end up if she stays single.

That's why some of us who have a bit of a Bridget Jones existence don't own alsatians!

(plus I don't know if I'm allowed them in my flat!)

I've already had that experience - and it's done for me and rollercoasters!

On a day out at Alton Towers with my then-office colleagues (all women I was the only man) I was cajoled into riding on 'Air' straight after another similarly fierce ride, the name of which escapes me. During the ride i did actually lose conciousness, which did not feel good at all.

On disembarking from the ride, all my colleagues expressed concern for my well-being - advising that I had turned a fetching shade of green.

At the time I was debating the order of my two most essential activites, to be completed immediately - lie down on the concrete and then throw up, or throw up and then lie down. By an effort of considerable will-power, i avoided the humiliation of either.

However, the residue of that experience, which I knew at the time, was that this would be my ast ever ride on a roler-coaster. What I did not bargain for, was the fact that even the sight of a roller coaster makes me fee nauseous - so I have to avoid looking at one for more than a few seconds.

[mccfluff]

hmmmmmm not sure

[jno]

I think an ordinary roller coaster ride would kill me (I feel much the same way about them as andy), so why pay for the deluxe five-star version..

I suppose if they were properly engineered they would stop suddenly and catapult all the bodies into a mass grave.

tidy jno....
