I have no fear of bodily damage on the new roller-coasters. They're just too safe. The fear of The Great American Scream Machine maybe flying off the track, or you out of your seat makes it exciting. The "Scream" part of the name of the coaster should give people a clue as to what is ahead of them.
USA USA USA USA!

Although, as "safe" as the steel coasters are, some kid got his head (literally) kicked off a few years back at the same 6-Flags when he jumped a fence to get his hat that he lost on the Batman coaster (your feet hang on the Batman coaster), and I'm sure whoever kicked him broke his foot or something. I think the Batman coaster goes at around 70MPH.
But that was on him. They have a big fence around the coaster, he jumped it for a hat that it turns out he didn't need anyway.
