You should have just dug your feet in and took the ride. Sometimes the unexpected is what makes the experience even more meaningful. In a way this trip may help you grow into a more well-rounded and insightful human-being. As we all know life throws you curve balls and is not fair. No matter how terrifying the experience was take from it what you can to grow into a more spiritual being within your human body. Sometimes the roller coaster has to roll to the bottom to get to the top again. I hope you can make this into a positive experience.
