I recall that nearly all such rides have disclaimer signs something along the lines of "do not ride if you have any physical disability or history of heart disease, are at risk for stroke," etc.

Plus, partof the rider operator's duties is to screen people, and they also have posted "the ride operation retains the authority to refuse anyone entrance to this attraction at any time."

Perception isn't reality. It's merely an abstraction thereof, and quite often not a very good one at that.

I am human. Fully human.
