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.

Parent here. I am terrified of roller coasters. I'm a DIY and tech person, and I can see how shoddy they are built and maintained. I did however let my kid ride in them when we went to one of them awful parks (grandpa invited us, kid was still young and excited). Kid had the time of his life, I died a thousand times (I tried out the milder ones myself and watched kid ride the bad ones).
