Carotid & Vertebral artery dissection are two brainrelated injuries that are caused alot by Roller Coasters, these types of injuries are caused by the sudden stops of Roller Coasters , but where did these Roller Coasters come from? The history of
Roller Coasters date all the way back to the 16th century. Although, Roller Coasters are a very popular and amusing attractions in America today, it wasn 't originated here. The very first, primitive ideas of Roller Coasters were created in Russia in the 1400s and
1500s. In the winter, seventyfoot hills were built of wood and packed with snow. Water was sprayed on the snow in order to freeze, so it would make a slicker track. Guides …show more content…
They are similar but, they have a few differences. For example, vertebral artery dissection is a tear and the Carotid artery dissection is a separation. Basically, they both deal with the neck and brain, and the both cause less blood. A carotid artery dissection is a separation of layers of the artery wall which supplies blood to the brain. It is one of the leading causes of strokes in young people.Symptoms include headaches, neck and face pains (especially pain around the eyes), vision disturbances such as double vision or a droopy eyelid, a sudden decrease in sense of taste and weakness on one side of the body. A vertebral artery dissection is a flap like tear which is located in the vertebral artery (neck). It is also what supplies blood to the head. When the tear occurs it starts to create blood clots, which can cause the artery wall to thicken and eventually cause the

blood flow in the head to slow down. This can easily cause the person to have a blackout because of the lack of oxygen and blood to the brain. The symptoms of this includes head and neck pain, and it also causes …show more content…
They use all of the possibilities and limitations of roller coasters with the of energy conservation, frictional losses, and other physical principles. After the calculations, engineers can definitely be able to analyze the motion of any existing gravitydriven coaster and design their own roller coasters.
