Why do people close their eyes on rides and coasters?

Question

I love thrill rides and coasters, but even when I do that, it scares me because I have no idea what's going to happen next. I notice that people who say closing your eyes always helps, but these are always the people who are still scared to ride everything. Does it really honestly help? I don't think it does.

Answer 1

My friend was taking flying lessons to get his pilots license and was talking to his instructor about emergency landings. The instructor said "if doing an emergency landing look around and find a place that looks good to him and land the plane there." My friend said "Well what if I don't see anything I like?" The instructor says "close your eyes."
