Answer 10

The g-forces of the ride. g forces are like gravity. Plus the ride forces all the air out of your lungs. You can prevent it by not going on rides. other than that there is no way around it.

Answer 11

There should be no reason as to why you can't breathe on drops.

There's not a coaster out there with enough G-force on the drop to cause that.

It's just because you're scared.
