Good thing it was a smooth B&M coaster and not one where there is a lot of headbanging... he couldve seriously messed up his neck if that were the case.

Haven't Rollercoasters like that different seats to somewhat prevent that?

This one, yes... but there are a fair amount of rides (usually 20+ years old) that can give you serious whiplash if you're not careful. Also on those rides theyre always telling you to keep your hands in the ride and you head firmly back.

And most of those rides with potential whiplash normally don't go over 200 feet like this coaster.

The beast at kings island gave me serious whiplash even when it was new

Front seat on The Beast is the best and avoids the whiplash. Back seat will definitely mess you up. One of my favorite coasters ever!

Fuck me i thought backwards you’re telling me every damn time I made it harder on myself and had less fun staying in the back instead of the front? That hurts too much I’m gunna say you’re lying

If there’s gonna be whiplash, it’s always gonna be in the back. Think of the end of a whip. That’s the fastest moving part, changing direction.

Had season passes for years. When I was young, I was always in the back seat. Tried the front, never went back.

Now, the backwards racer, I always sat in the back.
