Miscellaneous: Today, I tried to tackle my fear of heights by riding a rollercoaster....

Today, I tried to tackle my fear of heights by riding a rollercoaster. Once we were near the top, it malfunctioned, causing it to stop, and we all had to get out and climb back down. My girlfriend laughed at me for how scared I was. FML

Today, the rollercoaster I was on stuck upside down for a few minutes. I shat myself in terror. Then, gravity took effect. FML

Freaked out

By Cliffhanger - 10/05/2023 06:00 - United States

Today, I went to an amusement park with my family and we all decided to ride the tallest rollercoaster. As soon as the ride got going, I realized I'd made a huge mistake and was too terrified to open my eyes. I spent the entire ride screaming, with my hands over my eyes, and afterwards my cousin called me a wuss. FML

Today, I was at an amusement park with my kids. When we were on the Ferris wheel, I discovered my fear of heights. I hyperventilated, screamed from our seat "LET ME OUT! OH GOD LET ME OUT!!" I also began crying hysterically. They stopped the ride for me to get off. I'm a 45 year old man. FML

Today, I went on a rollercoaster for the first time in years. Almost immediately, I realized that my shorts were no match for the forces of gravity. I spent the rest of the ride clinging to my seat for dear life while trying to subtly cover my exposed ass. FML

Today, I went on a rollercoaster for the first time. I sat in the back, which was a bad idea. When it ended everyone in front of me turned around and stared. When I asked my friend what was going on, she said I had been screaming the Lord's Prayer the whole time. I hadn't even noticed. FML

Today, I went to an amusement park with a group of friends, one of whom was a girl I really like. When we got on the roller coaster, I was ecstatic that she wanted to sit next to me. Not even half-way through, I ended up puking all over the both of us. FML

Sensory deprivation

By Trisha - 07/10/2023 10:00 - United States

Today, I went to a theme park with my friends. I was excited to ride the rollercoasters, but just as we were about to get on the biggest one, I realized I'd had left my glasses in the car. I can't see shit without them, but I decided to go on the ride anyway. I spent the entire time screaming in terror while my friends laughed, while I couldn't see a thing. FML

Today, I was on a roller coaster and this 13 year old sitting next to me was completely terrified. To cheer him up, I threw my hands in the air. While my hands were up, we hit a curve and I elbowed him in the face, making him cry. FML

Today, I went to the yearly town carnival with my friends. I hadn't slept well the night before and when I got onto the scariest ride, I somehow fell half asleep. I woke up upside down and ended up peeing myself in terror. FML

Not cut out for this

Today, I took my girlfriend skydiving for her birthday. I insisted on joining her to make it a memory for us both, despite my fear of heights. I passed out twice mid-freefall and had to be saved by the instructor both times. FML

That truly is rough OP, I feel your pain. But at the end of the day, you can say you faced your fears head on, and thats something to be proud of.

I've never heard of that happening.. Usually you're just stuck for a while until they can fix it. That really sucks, OP. I'm not afraid of heights and even I would probably need a new pair of underwear after that experience.

sometimes they need people ro get out if they cant ensure their safety. i imagine they got stuck on the climb so they either need as little wieght as possible on the ride to get under the cars or its a safety thing in case it rolls back.

Go you OP! Sucks the coaster malfunctioned but at least you're trying. You never know what you can accomplish if you don't try...

Damn, that sounds scary for anybody, scared of heights or not. Good job on facing your fears. Bright side is your next roller coaster will seem like a breeze.

Honestly, when I saw the word "Rollercoaster" in an FML, I thought of Final Destination 3. On the plus side, nothing like that happened :)

I am a butthurt 13 year old. It's sad. I'll get tired of this eventually. You can send me an email here: [email protected]

I'm not 13 or butthurt. I really don't care for that lame word anyway. And no I will not.

They can edit and delete my comments all they want. I'm just fine knowing they can stop me from using this site.

I probably would've peed myself. I am terrified of heights as well. so it probably would've taken an act of god to get me on the rollercoaster tho.... kudos to u for getting on the ride!
