Coasters do not cause brain injury, study says - Cleveland Plain Dealer, 2/26/03

QuikQuote: "The risk of brain injury from a roller coaster is not in the rides, but in the riders," said the study released by the Brain Injury Association of America, which examined the issue at the request of lawmakers who are considering regulating amusement parks.
The study said that the rides are designed for safety and that the industry regulates itself with an efficiency that a federal agency probably couldn't match. It said the parks warn pregnant women and people with other medical conditions to avoid their rougher rides.
