It is adviced not to go on roller coster when on warfarin therapy. As you have extensive DVT and bilateral PE it is not adviced to you to go on roller coaster. new generation roller coaster has more risk. during ride roller coaster twists your brain and there are chances of bridging vein to be twisted and chances of subdural hematoma. though subdural hematoma are not attached to brain but it may create pressure on brain.
