Her death makes no sense. Of course not. This is a 'Darwin Award' winner if I ever saw one.

Her death makes no sense.Sure it does--you stand up in a roller coaster running at 60mph and you get thrown out. Sounds pretty cut and dried to me.

Tamar Fellner, 32, who had earned a Harvard M.B.A. and ran her own business.... witnesses at the Holiday World & Splashin' Safari park saw Fellner unlatch her seat belt and get up in a bid to get what roller-coaster enthusiasts call air time....
Fellner, who weighed 100 pounds, was ejected from the car and plunged 69 feet to her death....
"She was spirited and intelligent," said Arianna Patterson.
Wonder where her "spirit" is now?

One bright spot to this story though, she is out of the gene pool. Natural selection wins another one

Harvard M.B.A. Clearly she wasn't a physics major...

"Witnesses state that near the time of the accident, an individual matching the description of Ms. Fellner was seen in the last car of the roller coaster virtually standing up while the ride was in progress," In my mind if someone deliberately overrides safety features, deliberately ignores safety instructions, and deliberately takes foolish risk the foreseeable consequences of those deliberate actions cannot be termed an accident.
The park and its owners must be held blameless in this tragedy. Some gold digging ambulance chaser will no doubt argue that the ride should have had tamper proof restraints. But people (especially those of intelligence as this woman obviously was despite her actions) will find a way to overcome obstacles to there desires.
This woman was seeking the ultimate thrill. She got it.

No victim. Apparent involuntary suicide.
