I am terrified of roller coasters. This section of the thread has made me determined to overcome my fear this summer.
So I watched the video. The first thing I noticed was the Google ad running under the video for the online First Aid and CPR class - not a good start.
The video was watchable because it had to buffer quite a bit, so it wasn't all that intense. I noticed that the roller coaster track looked like a cross between a spine and those Cootie critter legs from my childhood. I watched it again in real time and I'm going to watch it again and again until I'm not afraid. Note that I won't be able to get on a real roller coaster because of a minor health issue, but maybe I can watch them on TV.

Hilarious.
I don't go on them because I'm not scared of them, I go on them because I'm determined not to let something scare the shit out of me.
Some would call it stupidity, yes

There is something mesmerising about the pure fear of it and I find myself pissed off for being a wuss for not going on....so I HAVE to go on them.
Two of my more recent episodes were on these;
And jetboating. I was hungover and had no intention of going, but got to the wharf and felt like a wuss. Swallowed half the harbour laughing.
