What have you been hit by?

While in line for Hypersonic a seat back flew off at the top of the hill and landed about 10 feet away from me.

I have also been hit by rain and a metal knut on Nessie

Too bad only coins fly out of the people's pockets, I could use a couple $ for a Coke :)

MF in a downpour?  I haven't experienced this, but I know a few that have and they say rain at 93 MPH is painful.

For example Sean F & Howard G on ride pic:

Rain in the front seat of Milennium Force. Yes it stings like crazy - and it wasn't even raining hard. I thought it enhanced the ride, though... :)

Also saw a girl about 3 or 4 people in front of us in X-Flight's queue get nailed with a lighter that flew from a rider going through the loop.

    The only thing I've ever been hit by on a coaster was a hat on the West Coaster at the Santa Monica Pier. Good thing it was pretty slow moving and I did catch it, the guy who lost it was very relieved to see someone had caught it rather then it fluttering off into the ocean. If that would have  happened to me on Goliath, my reflexes aren't all that fast(the same reason I don't play baseball) there would be no chance in a million years I'd catch a hat flying 80 mph at me. Yes coaster riding  can be a dangerous buisness ;)

I was hit by a tree branch on Pegasus, I got back to the satation with the branch still in my hand.

I wonder if they'll ever trim that tree. I'm afraid of that part of the ride, good thing I don't ride with my hands up on it. (I see not point in putting hands up when it won't enhance air time.)

I have no signature.

The most excruciating thing in my entire life was riding the in front seat of MF in a downpour. We're talking big droplets too. The only plus to the ride was watching the rain "fall up" while going down the hills. :)

I've been hit by heavy rain on the big dipper at SFWoA. Ouch!!! I can't imagine what it would be like on the MF'er considering that it goes about 3 times faster than the big dipper.

hey hypersonic xlc, i had a similar experience, when they were testing the trains for hypersonic, the headrest flew off in the top of the hill and i wasnt looking, and it hit me right in the head, my friends busted out laughing, so i took it and put in my bookbag and kept it
On X i was told that people where spitting in the front trying to hit their friends thank god i was in the back.

If you've ever been stung by a wasp before, imagine getting stung on the ear going about 35 mph.  I got nailed last summer sitting in the front seat of Double Loop at SFWoA.  Talk about painful.
Let's see, a cell phone flew off of Batwing's horseshoe and went in front of me landing next to my foot (then sliding).  Then, I personally hit the people behind me on S: ROS at SFA with my drool because my mouth was hanging open.  I don't know if they knew, though, because it was raining cats and dogs (and drool) all day.

Do the headrests on hypersonic fall off occasionally?!
Hail on Magnum  hurts like crazy.

I've also had water "dumped" on me, it was trapped in a canopy and the canopy finally gave out...
Speaking of X~Flight, We saw some shoes go flying off & Land on the Station's roof.*** This post was edited by JulieSFO on 1/13/2002. ***"

Hey Julie! Welcome to the CoasterBuzz forums! Just so everyone knows, Julz is one of the nicest people you will ever meet in person or online! Oh yea, she knows quite alot about that "U" shaped coaster at SFWoA... I just can't remember what it's called... Help me out here Julie!

Hmm....I can't say I've ever been hit by anything, but I've seen a racoon get blasted by a train on the Villian...that was pretty nasty.
I was hit smack in the middle of the forehead with a flying twoonie (Canada's two dollar coin) on Jet Scream @ PCW  (Huss Sky Master) but that rides insane because when i was on it we (the ship) hit a sea gull but it wasn't hurt to bad because it flew away afterwards.

To see what a Sky Master looks like :

ghettocoaster, when i was there one or two headrests fell of every time they tested the trains, that was like in the beginning of the season so i dont know if they have them where they are glued on( you think they would have thought of that with hypersonic being the coaster with the most negative g's at 2.1), so yes they fall off very occasionaly.
