If I ever become a parent, I'm not even sure I'm going to let my kids ride roller coasters. (self.casualconversation)

Call me a worry wart, but after seeing the damage sustained to Fury 325 at Carowinds on TikTok just now, I'm convinced roller coasters ain't it. Like damn, the track was sagging and the pillars were swaying.

There's always freak accidents, I've ridden Fury a bunch of times and I'm still breathing. I don't remember where I read this, but you're more likely to die on the way to the amusement park than you are on a rollercoaster.
