Yes, it is safe. Contact lenses are extremely light, and the surface tension forces keeping them on the surface of the eye are more than enough, despite the high G Forces encountered with roller coasters.

You can on most, but you risk losing them. I always put mine in a hard case in a bumbag (fanny pack) so the restraints don't crush them. If your eyesight is bad enough you need them to enjoy the experience, try contacts or get them fitted tight and have a cord on them, which you could clip to your top.
How do I keep my glasses from flying off on roller coasters? Take them off. They most likely have a bag drop or somewhere else you can leave them. If you don't want to do this, buy a glasses strap.
“As far as an age limit, though, if you are physically healthy and up for the thrill, there is likely no greater risk for someone who is 60 than there is for someone who is 20.” The largest concern for those who indulge in roller coasters is the after effects.
To help with this, don't close your eyes while on the ride! While it may seem scary to view the twists and turns you are going through, it will allow your body to sense the reasonings for why you are moving so abruptly.
Other health conditions can make going on high-speed rides unsafe, including pregnancy, recent surgery, heart problems, high blood pressure and aneurysms, as well as the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Contact lenses may be the most obvious choice for most theme park rides, but can you wear contacts on a roller coaster? Contacts will probably not fall out or get lost and break on a fast ride as glasses can. If you're not used to wearing them, the sudden switch from glasses to contacts can be intense.
Keep your eyes open if you experience nausea.Some people will experience motion sickness while they are on a roller coaster. In order to combat this, you can keep your eyes open. This way you will be able to see what is coming and this will allow your body to predict the movements.
In a typical coaster design, the riders in the front car get an unobstructed view of all these obstacles whipping past them. In a coaster that has seats facing backward, the rear car offers the best of both worlds -- you get a great view and the most intense ride.

It is a matter of size, not weight. If a person is too large to fit into the restraints, then they cannot ride. It depends on how a person is built. For example, a guy with a large chest may not be able to ride, but someone else that weighs more than him might.
Most coasters don't have a posted weight limit but if they do, that would be listed on the sign where the height restrictions are when you get in line. It's more common to see weight limits on water rides like water slides, and some kiddie rides where parents ride with kids. I hope this helps!
“As we get older, the vestibular system gets less efficient, meaning it doesn't respond as easily to motion of the head or to movement around us. Normally the inner ear responds to movement automatically, so we aren't aware that it is working until the movement is too much for our vestibular system to handle.
