FERTILITY scientists will be pricking up their ears at the news that a woman who had been barren for several years has conceived thanks to a ride on a particularly fierce rollercoaster.
Nayade Elbing, 28, and her husband Arnold had been trying to have children for several years and had consulted doctors in the hope of scientific help in their quest.
But according to their doctor, Thomas Gent, it was G-force, rather than hitting the G-spot, that made the difference.
After making love at home, Elbing and her husband visited their local entertainment park in Hassloch, Germany, which boasts one of the world's fastest and most acrobatic rollercoasters, dubbed Expedition GeForce.
A week later, tests showed Elbing was pregnant.
"We believe that she conceived due to the G-force of the rollercoaster ride," Dr Gent said.
Cuban-born Elbing has since given birth to Leandro Elias - who has been given a lifetime pass for free rollercoaster rides.
