Extended Metaphor - Life is...

"In the rollar coaster of life, sometimes, we go too fast that we don't know we're on the downfall until we're actually on it, and we are too scared on the ride to realize that we actually enjoyed it."

This extended metaphor has two parts. The first part, 'we don't know we're on the downfall until we're acutally on it', shows that sometimes things can take you by surprise, because life is full of surprises, good or bad. The second part, 'we are too scared on the ride to realize that we actually enjoyed it', this shows that sometimes, when in the middle of the situation, we are thinking too much, and we don't actually enjoy the moment. For example, a lot of adults live to earn money for retirement so that they can enjoy it, however, after they retire, they realize that they are so busy working hard that they didn't get to enjoy life to its fullest. So basically, this metaphor is about 'surprises' and 'regets'.
