Total hours worked were little changed on a monthly basis in December, and up 1.4% compared with 12 months earlier.Īs part of a Statistics Canada data collection initiative on new forms of employment, new data for December show that about 250,000 Canadians had provided ride or delivery services through an application or digital platform in the previous 12 months (population aged 16 to 69 not seasonally adjusted). Year-over-year growth in the average hourly wages of employees remained above 5% for a seventh consecutive month in December, up 5.1% (+$1.57 to $32.06) compared with December 2021 (not seasonally adjusted). This was higher than the pre-pandemic average of 6.9% recorded in the month of December from 2017 to 2019 (not seasonally adjusted). In December, 8.1% of employees were absent due to illness or disability, up from 6.8% in November. There was little change in the other provinces.

In this video, we break down all the advancements that helped make looping coasters the popular ride they are today. Looping coasters wouldn’t find success again until the 1970s with a new loop shape, new materials, many more cars - and, thankfully, fewer G’s. Without sustained success, most looping coasters closed down within their first decade of operation. More people paid to watch others ride these early coasters rather than ride themselves. Fourteen G’s was (and still is) tremendous. Fighter pilots with very special equipment and training can handle 10 G’s for short periods of time. For reference, astronauts in a spaceship launch experience 3 G’s. The first looping roller coaster in North America - Coney Island’s Flip Flap Railway - could exert up to 14 G’s on a person. This rapid onset of curvature caused extreme G-force spikes that rattled passengers to their core. Just over 100 years ago, loop-the-loops were painful, not sturdy, and much more dangerous than they are today.īetween the 1840s and early 1900s, loops on roller coasters were perfectly circular - meaning riders would go from traveling in a fairly straight line to immediately moving into a curve. ![]() If you’ve ever been on a modern looping roller coaster, you’ve probably experienced a thrilling, safe, and mostly comfortable ride. ![]()
