Normal air travel is not faster than sound, nor does it subject the passenger to twice the force of gravity. Pilots of planes that fast and astronauts are rigorously tested first, before being accepted in such positions. None of these precautions exist for those being admitted to the "thrill" rides in the most exciting and daring amusement parks, though some offer rides that simulate the speed and gravity, putting the body under the same stress. In the past year two people died after being on one of those rides in Disney World.
IMHO, it's definitely dangerous and irresponsible to have such rides, especially since it's impossible to conduct proper medical exams on all of those who want to "enjoy themselves."
