Let's assume a massive dump is on the order of three pounds. At ten G's, that would weigh thirty pounds. Since toddlers have been known to hang from their diapers, I'm assuming it can be done. If not, research will need to be done to make a stronger 10G diaper. Even if the deathercoaster is never build, with the rise of space tourism, more people will be going into space in high G environments; oldsters make up a percentage of the population, so it's a good guess that some will be going into space -- thus creating a demand for 10G diapers.

Wait... I'm going to patent that. Everyone disregard this message

Who still uses Yahoo? I decided to take a quick trip to Alexa to get some sort of info about their demographics: "Relative to the general internet population, people over 65 years old are over represented at yahoo.com. Confidence: high"

That pretty much explains it. Grandpa learned to use the internet in the late 90's with Yahoo, and any other dangblasted, newfangled search engine won't be built like they used to be.
