Did This Coaster Really Snap Necks?

The Flip Flap Railway was the OG upside-down coaster in the US, and legend says it hit a wild 12 Gs—enough to break necks! But the math doesn’t add up: the ride probably maxed out around 7.5 Gs, which is still nuts (and way above today’s safety limits). No wonder people complained about whiplash! Turns out, the real danger was less about urban legend and more about old-school engineering gone wild. #RollerCoasterHistory #ThemeParkNerd #FunFact #EngineeringFails #Transportation
