How does fact 7 relate to the topic?

Hassan its pretty obvious ... blood flow probably fluctuates when riding a roller coaster, due to the physics of the ride ... which might cause damage to the brain ...

Adrenaline gets pumped when on a rollar coaster, this increases blood flow, so it also increases pressure, methinks.
