sgt-ned-flanders Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I got into a car accident during the fall. I am still partially recovering from amnesia and got seizures from time to time.I do not have a heart condition but, should I stay off of thrill rides or is it nothing to worry about? I don't remember seeing a warning sign about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKI Jizzman Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Usually signs for the ride or in the brochures tell wether or not you should be able to go on that ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XanderLee Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 If you think something on a ride could trigger a seizure, don't ride it... It does happen from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAJiME Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I think you should ask your doctor for a detailed account of what could possibly trigger it on a ride so you have the knowledge behind you when you consider certain rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember seeing a warning sign about that. Stay off coasters and honestly most rides until you speak to a doctor. Any ride with a flashing light (Yes camera strobes included) can trigger seizures depending on your condition. And stay away from dark rides!! Most coasters now seem to warn that have camera equipment on the ride but I have also seen many that do not. Take care, get better, ask your doc. Cheers!

ECZenith Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I would really just avoid them... I have seen park warning signs that say to avoid certain attractions if you are prone to seizures. Just stay safe... really isn't worth it. Unless of course your doc says it's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I've had one seizure (5 years ago) and the doctors said, the longer you go without one, the less chance you have of having another one. They said to wait nine months after the seizure before I could go back to riding and things like that. I'd wait. But I only had one, and they couldn't determine why, so it's a toss-up.

Calvin Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Amnesia? Whoa. Anyways, just be cautious. Stay away from haunted houses, for one. I rode this one at our fair and a strobe went off and I swear I nearly had a seizure. Talk to your doctor, also, and ask people about rides before riding them; they might be able to tell you what to expect. But defenitely talk to your doctor. If he says not to ride rides, listen to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
