Has anyone ever passed out on a roller coaster?

Question

I passed out on Sheikra at Busch Gardens in December. Now I am scared to ride any roller coasters. I rode it about a year ago and blacked out for a couple seconds. Every other coaster I have ridden I have not had any problems. Now when I ride I get so nervous I feel like I will pass out again. Anyone had similar experiences?

Answer 1

My cousin did on Goliath at Six Flags and she peed all over her seat.  She was so embarrassed when she came to.  It took her awhile to ride it again like 3-4 years.  I remember that it was really hot outside and she didn't eat a lot that day.

Answer 2

I had a moment where I couldn't see on a roller coaster, like all I could see was black dots for a few seconds. I've never fainted or anything though. If you've ridden other roller coasters and they haven't bothered you maybe it was just an element of SheiKra, the pause at the top or the 90 degree drop (straight down).

Answer 3

No, but I got stuck at the highest level on a ferry wheel, the darn thing broke down and I felt helpless

Answer 4

We went to Six Flags St. Louis a few weeks back and my GF blacked out on Batman. It's never happened before but when we were at the end of the ride, she said everything went black the hole time...Weird.

Answer 5

no, but i almost did, throughout the whole ride i couldnt catch my breath!

Answer 6

no, but I came really, really close to passing out on Mission: Space at EPCOT - - not a good feeling.

have you had your blood pressure checked?
