A cutback is a roller coaster inversion similar to a corkscrew, except that the two half-corkscrews are in opposite directions so that the train exits the inversion in the opposite direction from which it entered. The defunct Drachen Fire at Busch Gardens, Williamsburg is the only known roller coaster ever to have a cutback inversion.
A cutback in football generally refers to a move a running back makes when a run play is designed to go one way but the back sees opportunity for gain elsewhere. Certain plays are designed to create this type of opportunity, particularly those where the offensive linemen zone block (step in the same direction initially, blocking the first defender), or during a stretch play.
Cutback is a turn at the shoulder of the wave back to the peak.
