Sorry that this is just another link to YouTube, but I think you'll agree this is hilarious.

Total respect for the reporter though. My hat is off to her. [Hat]

"He's absolutely wrong and I think the weddings off." [ROFL]

Perhaps I'm empathising too much, but the part were she is terrified isn't funny to me. [Frown]

Yeah, I thought it was awful, but remembering that she had done it the day before and agreed to do it again for the camera helped. She must have decided it wasn't that bad.

It was agonizing to watch; I didn't find it funny at all. If anything, I think the hosts themselves were somewhat shaken by how horrified she looked.

That left me feeling saddened and slightly dirty. [Frown]

I couldn't watch past the one-minute mark. I hate and loathe roller-coasters and heights. I empathized a bit too much to be able to stand it. In fact, I'm rather nauseous at the moment. *shudder*

Or she felt she couldn't back out, either because it might effect her job security or because she didn't want to go back on her word. I am pretty sickened by the fact that her boss/supervisor/whatever thought this was a good idea.

I guess I'm the only one who saw this and thought, "Wow, that looks like so much fun!!"

I skipped ahead and caught it near the end, but I admired the lady for even trying to talk while the ride was going. My hats off to her for having the cajones to put herself through that.

I love rollercoasters and thought that the ride looked wonderful. However, I couldn't watch much of the video because the woman was so scared. Her expression reminded me of dreams of crashing down a cliff, knowing that I'm going to die at the bottom.

I thought the rollercoaster looked great. I love rollercoasters. However, I was recently reminded how terrified I am of drowning, and had too much sympathy for the reporter to find her fright at all amusing.

I was just waiting for her to hurl. What a disappointment.

Overcoming your fear is a powerful thing to do.
