Sometimes people have an aneurysm that they are unaware of until it bursts. It's not the roller coaster's fault.

SANTA CLAUS, Ind. — An Ohio woman’s death after she rode a roller coaster at a theme park last month was due to a torn artery, loss of blood and force from the ride, an Indiana coroner said.
According to a news release from Dubois County Coroner Katie Schuck, Dawn R. Jankovic, 47, of Brunswick, died of exsanguination (internal bleeding), avulsion of the right internal thoracic artery and the effects of the roller coaster, WDRB reported.
The force from the roller coaster caused Jankovic’s right internal thoracic artery to tear, resulting in rapid blood loss, Schuck said in her statement.
Jankovic was visiting the Holiday World and Splashin’ Safari in southern Indiana on June 4, WDRB reported. She was found unresponsive after riding The Voyage roller coaster, park officials announced in a Facebook post.
Jankovic and her 17-year-old son were riding the wooden roller coaster when she lost consciousness. Jankovic was treated by Holiday World emergency medical technicians before an ambulance transported her to an area hospital, where she died, WLKY reported.
Jankovic was an employee of University Hospitals, her son, Gunnar Merker, told WJW.
“She was a hard-working mom,” Merker told the television station. “She tried her best to support me in all different ways.”
Merker said he was sitting next to his mother on the ride when she fell unconscious during the ride.
“I feel bad. This kid witnessed everything and he was there by himself before I could actually get to him,” the boy’s father, Gary Merker, told WJW.
Holiday World officials said staff members inspected The Voyage and determined that the roller coaster “operated as it was intended to,” according to the park’s Facebook post last month.
Schuck ruled that Jankovic’s death was accidental, WAVE-TV reported.
I have not been on a roller coaster in a while...I am not really a huge fan of roller coasters...
I think the family will file a lawsuit eventually...Even though the coroner ruled that the death was accidental...
expect several more large warning signs around roller coaster entrances
It’s the lawyers. They smell blood and they will approach the family.
Dreadful. RIP.
I expect to see a sharp rise in deaths due to odd blood-oriented disorders
Tearing of an artery fits
My question in this case is ... was she or her husband vaxxed ?

This kills a lot of people in airplane and car crashes - even before covid.
Wow. An existing vascular weakness meets with force and pressure.
Sometimes it’s just your time.
Was she obese? On any meds? There’s an antibiotic that can weaken tendons and blood vessels, its called “Cipro”. The warning lable says it can even happen months after taking. Either way, this is tragic.

That’s what killed Princess Diana in her car crash. She survived the crash with minor external injuries, but she had a torn artery or vein near her heart and died of internal bleeding.
And the French sure have an odd way of treating cardiac tamponade.
I don’t believe this for a second. Clearly, she had a bad reaction to the covid vaccine.
She was a ticking time bomb and that artery was likely going to blow at sometime in the near future. The forces of rollercoaster just moved up the clock a little.
Do you guys ever give it a rest? get a life.
"Ex" means out, not in.
