It raises blood pressure and increases risk of stroke
LONDON - The way some people go to the toilet could be a matter of life or death.
Squatting could increase the risk of stroke, particularly if a person is defecating, researchers suggest.
Doctors in Calcutta, India have found a third of stroke deaths occurred while people were squatting, according to a report in BBC Online.
Results presented to the World Congress of Neurology in London showed how doctors started investigating when they realised they were seeing more stroke patients in the morning than any other time of day.
Doctors looked at records for 100 patients and found just over half the strokes were occurring between five and nine o'clock in the morning.
The Calcutta team also found that squatting, whether defecating or not, raised blood pressure.
The rise was especially significant in people with hypertension, who already had a greater risk of stroke.
The team also said it had long been recognised that defecation could bring on a stroke.
cheers!

I once saw a kid throw up after riding Barnstormer.
How that ride could make anybody sick is beyond me.
When I was about 5, I threw up at Pleasure Island. (too much alcohol?) I remember years later when my mom proudly showed some friends the EXACT spot where I threw up.

I usually have a pretty strong stomach, but there are two rides that I have come VERY close to tossing my cookies on: Body Wars and Space Mountain. Body Wars I can understand, but Space Mountain still stumps me.

I was once at Universal Studios a couple of years ago and was in line for Back to the Future. I had put some chewing tobacco in and was spitting into a cup. We got ready to go on the ride and there was no garbage can to throw the cup away so one of the attendants took it from me, but she didn't know that I had the chewing tobacco in my mouth. I ended up having to ride the ride while swallowing the tobacco spit, that was the closest I came to hurling on a ride.

I have never thrown up in any ride (Thank God!) I have only felt dizzy in the teacups, but it was fun. When I see someone puking, I feel nauseaus though...
Since some of you have done it and witnessed people doing it, let me ask you.... have you been "sprinkled" with it?? YUCK! I am so disgusting.... haha

I've only gotten sick once. It was when my parents took me on Space Mountain at age 4 (That was 19 years ago.).
The last time I rode Space Mountain was 4 years ago, and I was absolutely fine.

I was going to post the EXACT same question,but I thought these stupid guys on here would make fun of me again and say it needed to be on some 'lame post' things. WHATEVER!! But to answer your question,no I have never gotten sick on any rides.Just a few butterflies. I can't stand to see someone throw up or hear it or just the thought of it...gross...
yeah, there is a restaurant right there, poor planning I would say. I would hate to be a show keeper (maintenance worker) in the wonders of life pavillion. Yuck!! I've been at the body wars exit a few times when someone lost their lunch. not pleasant.
