Brits break naked roller coaster riding record on the Green Scream
Thrillseekers take part in a world record-breaking nude roller coaster ride, to raise money for Southend Hospital's breast care unit, at an amusement park in Southend-on-Sea, southeast England Aug. 8, 2010. Participants, who loaded into the carriages 40 at a time, broke the previous world record of 32 naked riders on a theme park ride. A total of 102 riders turned up to ride without clothing.
Why, why would you do this? For charity.
One hundred and two nudists and roller coaster enthusiasts turned up in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, to board the Green Scream in the buff. The Press Association story starts off with:
From bare nipples to white knuckles – more than 100 thrill-seekers have riden a rollercoaster naked.
The group was raising money for Southend Hospital Charitable Fondation's Bosom Pals Appeal, a breast cancer charity. For some, it must have been the only reason to expose their privates to all those G forces in public. It appears it was well worth it: The group raised ten of thousands of dollars at Adventure Island today.
This particular roller coaster
Apparently, the Brits have some sort of attraction for riding roller coasters in the nude.
The previous world record, set in 2004, was set by just 32 naked thrillseekers in Staffordshire.

Enough said about this. Now that you’ve seen the pictures, shall we move on?
