Abstract
We present the case of a 30-year-old previously healthy patient, who developed after numerous trips on a roller coaster a spontaneous hematoma subdural and a contralateral hygroma. Extreme speed and G-force deployment, the succession of moments of acceleration and deceleration, sudden cephalic movements with snarling side of the brain and the number of times that he repeated the trip, they constituted a significant risk of rupture of veins bridge, being possible that repeated falls from a towed buoy have produced the latest trauma and final trigger.
