Ill-conceived Coin Experiment

I went to Magic Mountain in Valencia, California this weekend with some friends from Australia. We decided to find out if a coin will really hover above your hand while dropping on the Freefall ride. We miscalculated the effect of plummeting inside a giant steel box. The camera fell to the floor but was, fortunately, undamaged.

Thanks to Brendan Watts for the ace camerawork.
