Example: Amusement industry
Amusement parks are booming trough out the world, whether in Europe, Asia or America. Breathtaking attractions draw millions of visitors to the parks and provide the right "thrill" of a sensational ride- as on the "Giant Drop" at Paramount/USA. The complex technology behind these attractions is often equally impressive. For obvious reasons, safety is the absolute top priority whereever people seek the thrill of breathtaking acceleration, sudden deceleration or incredible centrifugal forces in their purest form.
