I agree with Real, although i do put my hands up on most rides, it doesnt rally do anything for me, its no differenet than holding on....but the big exception to this i feel is Nemesis. Going round that with your hands up is pretty insane, you fly around your seat and really feel the G force.
Ack, i hate to say this Real
, but the limp theory is wrong. We recently went over this in Physics class. By making your body limp, you increase the impact time, which is inversly proportional to the force, and therefore the force you feel being limp will be less. So in fact, if you tense up because your scared on a ride you will probaly be more at risk to the forces. However i do agree that being limp on a ride (err) can also enhance the ride....and TConwell i was trying to make that as least sexual as possible, but you know
