Man Gets Off Roller Coaster Seconds Before The Big Drop

At first you must be thinking, that guy must be crazy. Or did he potentially save his life?

This video of a man at an amusement park in Arizona standing up and jumping out of a rollercoaster just before the big drop has gone viral. There was a very big reason as to WHY…his lap bar had released, and he made the split second decision NOT to go down the drop not being secured.  Somehow, he was able to make it onto an emergency staircase at the peak of the ride seconds before the cars would take the plunge.  As he put it, “I didn’t want to die to have fun.” 

As he pointed out to reporters, he was there with his kids and that could have easily been one of them in that unsecured car which could have resulted in a tragedy.
