Job A-Z

Vomit Collector


Rollercoasters can often be a stomach-churning experience, and the accounts of people throwing up after (and sometimes during) the ride are plentiful (I’m certain there’s video footage on YouTube to evidence this, but let’s not look it up). The question, though, is: who the hell cleans up all that vomit?

At Thorpe Park, that would be Rhys Owens, who was hired in 2009 to keep the park’s most extreme ride, SAW – The Ride, vomit-free. That’s right, Mr Owens’ job description is to clean people’s vomit which, in 2008, amounted to an estimated 150 litres over 619 ‘sick shutdowns’. At least he gets to ride the rollercoaster when not picking up chunks of sick.
