I wonder if certain professions have a lower incidence of kidney stones, which can be linked to exposure to G forces or vibrational forces applied (Pilot, truck driver, etc.). That'd be an interesting occupational health study (When controlling for all other occupational factors).

Someday in a glorious future doctors will prescribe rollercoaster rides.

That's interesting.

I would bet rollercoasters could be as or more effective as tylenol for milder pain too, at least while you're distracted and pumped full of endorphins.

I would think a trampoline would work even better.

Roller coasters have vibrations that trampolines don't.

Why?
