Rollercoaster riders at Thorpe Park in Surrery are being banned from putting their arms in the air in case they smell of body odour. Apparently there have been complaints about body odour and notices have been put on those scary rides and staff issued with deodorant sprays for customers.
Director Mike Vallis is quoted by the BBC saying: The combination of hot weather and exciting rides could produce the unpleasant side-effect of an excess of body odour.
“The human body reacts to being scared and being thrilled by sweating a bit more,” he said.
“We are asking people to keep their arms down in the present hot spell.
“In some extreme cases we may even ask people to move to the back of the train so the whole ride doesn’t have to go through a cloud of someone else’s BO.”
I can imagine being moved to the back of the train, or worse being asked to take deodorant spray because I smell of body odour……how embarrassing?
