Several summers ago, while visiting the Six Flags amusement park in New York, Mike Dwaileebe took a seat on one of the cars of the Superman rollercoaster. Dwaileebe, who weighed more than 395 pounds, reportedly couldn't close his lap-bar properly, and while on one of the coaster's hairpin curves he flew out of his car not like a bird, or a plane, but rather, as his lawyer indelicately put it, "like a cork out of a champagne bottle."....
(The Six Flags park spoken of was actually Six Flags Darien Lake....)
