In the past three years, a pensioner from the state of Ohio has densely "sat down" on a roller coaster. This attraction appeared in the local park in 2009. Since then, Thelma Grach goes there as a job, believing that adrenaline stress is beneficial to her body. The old woman buys a season ticket and skates as her soul desires.

According to the employees of the entertainment center, a 90-year-old woman is their most age-old client. For three years of work the attraction of Thelma has swept it more than a hundred times. True, no lover likes sharp sensations from the cashiers never received.
Fact in the topic:
The absolute record for skiing on a roller coaster was established in 2010. For one day, 78-year-old Vic Kliman swept them 90 times. So an elderly resident of the United States celebrated the anniversary of the amusement park.
[Important:
Scientists from the University of Edinburgh have proved that "in small doses" stress is beneficial to the body. It improves the memory of the elderly. In small amounts, the stress hormone strengthens it, but as soon as the level of cortisol increases, the brain begins to "flounder". This discovery explains why the elderly who are under constant psychological pressure, start to think worse with time.
Researchers believe that this situation can be corrected. Elderly people will need a little emotional shake, which will benefit favorably on their "gray matter".
