A Sneak Peek of Insanity-The Ride at the Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas
By Arthur Levine, About.com Guide
As Insanity revs up to 40 mph, it will deliver about three Gs of centrifugal force and lift riders up to a 70-degree angle. That will put intrepid passengers in a precarious straight-down position overlooking Vegas' famed strip, some 900 feet below. The Stratosphere describes the ride's seats as "escape-proof."
