A roller coaster won't affect an implanted heart device but check with a doctor to make sure there are no heart conditions that prevent riding. A roller coaster may have shoulder bars that can rest uncomfortably on a device. Items such as additional padding, an extra shirt, or towel can be used to protect the devices in these cases from rough, physical contact to the implant site.

Additionally, keep a heart device at least 6 in (15 cm) away from any magnetic components.
