    there’s nothing unusual about the G-forces of the X2

    So this is disingenuous, the whipping motions that the riders experience on the x2 are much different than the higher g shockwave https://rollercoaster.fandom.com/wiki/Shock_Wave_(Six_Flags_Over_Texas)

    You can see the way the track is designed, the riders are pushed down and back into the seats with a gradual increase in force on the highest g loop.

    I'd agree with you that 4gs isn't enough to harm a healthy adult, but the attraction has a responsibility to provide an accurate presentation of the risk and should account for riders that unknowingly are at risk. If they aren't accounting for riders that have an invisible abnormality, they shouldn't operate the ride.

    There's no marketing material on these rides that say "only ride if you do not have any abnormal cardiovascular physiology" and if they did I'd wonder what kind of screening they expect their riders to pass.

    Where did you study neuroscience? I'd love to hear more about your credentials and expertise on the topic.
