Sometimes a Great Motion: Are You Too Old for That Thrill Ride?

After a certain age, amusement rides become just too much. Here are some clues that you’ve passed that tipping (woozy, puking) point.

• You bend over to tie your shoe and almost pass out when you stand up again.
• Lately, the closest you’ve come to being suspended upside down was when you got stuck in your La-Z-Boy recliner.
• You get motion sickness watching a tennis match on TV.
• You experience the feeling of your brain going one way and your body going another every Monday morning, without paying $65 for an admission pass.
• Your idea of soaring heights: using a stepladder to change a light bulb.
• The thrill over “loss of control” dimmed when you started wearing Depends.
