It was a terrifying ride because I was about to fall out the whole time!
That sounds intense! Why did you feel scared about the ride?
I heard bad things about it from my friends, so I held on so tight
If you are riding in a vehicle then you should always buckle a seat belt for safety.  This vehicle should have been properly inspected before anyone was riding in it, so if you have any doubts in the future, you can always find another ride.
I wasn't worried about that before I even got in it.
Being in a safe vehicle is very important and so is being secure in it. It'd be good to be more wary of those things.
