One of my biggest fears are heights. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll get on a plane and a roller coaster ride but I’ll always be hesitant and anxious. You won’t see me climbing no mountain or climbing up no tree, not at this age. The movie Final Destination and the attack on 9/11 have conditioned me to be less willing to go to amusement parks and less likely to book the room on the top floor. Knowing that technical malfunctions happen frequently at amusement parks as a kid, the movie final destination showed me these scenarios can pan out much differently. I didn’t realize this was a fear of mine until I found myself sitting out on the drop tower in Kings Dominion. I said to myself “nah that’s too high.” Whenever I book a hotel it’s the bottom floor. When I go to sign my lease I need a bottom floor. I’m not afraid I’m just not having it. Better safe than sorry.

What is an intense fear of travel known as?

Identify whether each sentence is compound or complex.  Although there are federal standards for the safety of roller coasters, deaths occur each year in the world.   Ride operators must take their job seriously because people’s lives are in their hands.   You’re paying for the thrill, not the safety.   Most amusement parks don’t have to advertise their roller coasters because the coaster looming on the horizon sells itself.   If you stood in line for less than an hour, you got on the ride sooner than most.   The average wait time in line is two hours, not one.   Although some people get ill, they feel it is worth the rush of adrenaline.  I can’t wait to visit Six Flags this weekend; I have waited months!

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) while riding roller coasters can occur when external forces cause the brain to accelerate or decelerate rapidly, damaging the brain tissue. TBI is a major cause of death and disability, but the extent to which riding a roller coaster poses an increased risk for TBI is unclear.Riders of coasters experience gravitational forces that may be too large for their body to withstand. Yet, gravitational forces alone cannot predict TBI. The body can endure large gravitational forces if they occur over periods of less than 25 seconds. Predicting the probability of a TBI requires the identification of kinematic parameters such as ride duration, coaster velocity, and acceleration, as well as those forces experienced by the body as a result.Measures such as the Head Injury Criterion (HIC) and Head Impact Power (HIP) are used to aid in TBI predictions. HIC is calculated using acceleration over a certain time interval (usually t = 15 ms) to estimate the likelihood of injury arising from an impact. HIC evaluates only linear acceleration, while HIP accounts for both linear and rotational acceleration. To compare the TBI risk of different activities, scientists often use the following equation:HIC = F x ∆tEquation 1where F is the average linear force and ∆t is the time interval. Scientists conducted an experiment to test the TBI risk of several activities in comparison to roller coasters. The linear accelerations, linear velocities, angular accelerations, and angular velocities of participants’ heads were measured and averaged for four participants across five activities: three roller coaster rides, a pillow fight, and a five m/s bumper hit (see Table 1). The linear acceleration of a pillow fight's results is graphed in Figure 2. Finally, the probability of a concussion, the most common and the least serious type of TBI, was graphed as a function of HIC. Participants 1, 2, 3, and 4 weigh 800, 350, 400, and 750 N, respectively.Table 1 Study resultsFigure 1 Head linear acceleration during pillow fightFigure 2 Predicted risk of concussionQuestion 40Which of the following situations would present Participant 3 with the greatest risk for TBI? A.A linear acceleration of 10 m/s2 for 2 ms in a car crashB.A single punch to the head causing acceleration of 100 m/s2 for 3 msC.Riding a roller coaster of 9 m/s2 sustained for 40 sD.Total body acceleration of 15 m/s2 for 1 ms
