An Arizona man made a split-second decision on a roller coaster that he said may have saved his life. The man, who did not want his name used, jumped from a moving roller coaster seat just before the cars went down a large drop. The man was riding the double loop coaster called the Desert Storm at Castles N’ Coasters park near Phoenix on Nov. 24.

Hair-raising video captured the moment an Arizona man climbed out of a moving roller coaster after his seat’s safety bar became unlatched near the ride’s peak — a split-second decision that he says saved his life.
