OK...But I'm Not Riding Next.

From Bare Knuckles to Bare Everything: 
102 thrillseekers strip off to break the naked rollercoaster world record
By Daily Mail Reporter

From bare nipples to white knuckles - more than 100 thrillseekers rode a rollercoaster naked today.  The 102 enthusiasts bared all to take their seats on the Green Scream rollercoaster at Southend-on-Sea, Essex (England). 
Organizers (this is a fantastic pun - do you think it is intentional?) were hoping they had broken a new record after 32 attempted the same feat in 2004 at Alton Towers in Staffordshire.


Organiser Tracy Jones said, "We wanted to raise as much money as possible for this brialliant charity and give everybody who was brave enough, the chance to be a part of the world record.  Consequently, we had to run the Naked Coaster three times."  (And consequently, Lysol is now completely sold out at all the stores in Essex.)   

The ride took place at Adventure Island, raising money for Southern Hospital Charitable Foundation's Bosom Pals Appeal.  

Barbara Warner, of Bosom Pals, said "it takes a lot of nerve to take off all your clothes in front of so many people and the world's media."  She added the Appeal would like to say a massive thank you to eveyone who was brave enough to bare all and raise such a huge amount of cash - more than 22,000 pounds - for our vitally important cause."

   

A few comments: 
Why are these mostly men?!  A carload of naked models would have raised more interest as well as selling out an event admission fee.
And shouldn't the Department of Health burn these cars after this event?  
Don't think about it too much, but would you want to ride in these after the first group?  How about after the third?  Ewwwww!!!
