ATHOL, Idaho -- KREM 2 Reporter Erik Hedlund strapped on a personal video recorder and then mustered the guts - and not necessarily in that order - to go for not one, but two spins on Silverwood's newest ride called the 'Aftershock.'

Safety experts say Silverwood's new roller coaster, the Aftershock, is safe for anyone in good health to ride.

Previously some KREM 2 viewers had contacted us, concerned that the 4.6 Gs in force the ride puts on the body, are too much.

Our investigation uncovered that excessive exposure to G-force on the body can cause brain damage, but Aftershock falls well short of unacceptable amounts.

A "G" is equal to the amount of force gravity exerts on the body under normal circumstances.

We also discovered that there were no safety problems with the ride at its old home, Six Flags-Chicago.
