Scientists experiment to see if roller coasters help pass kidney stones

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

Two scientists carried a urine-filled, 3D-printed kidney onto Disney World rides in the name of science. Sixty rides later, they confirmed that getting jostled in a roller coaster makes it easier to pass kidney stones.

I would not want to be sitting in the row behind the scientists carrying a urine-filled, 3D-printed kidney on a ride. And here we thought getting hit by cell phones was bad enough.

From personal experience on magnum, I can confirm that they do.

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
