Roller-coaster
Definitions → R → Roller-coaster
1. a case that betters and worsens. A roller-coaster is always connected to a suppressive person and will not get steady gains until the suppressive is found on the case or the basic suppressive person earlier. Because the case doesn't get well he or she is a potential trouble source to us, to others and to himself. (HCOB 8 Nov 65)
2. a slump after a gain. Pcs who do not hold their gains are PTS. (HCOB 9 Dec 71RA)
3. gets better, gets worse, gets better, gets worse. (SH Spec 63, 6506C08)
