Yeah that makes sense. It's not logical to add technology that would stop the ride at any time. One guy said a few posts ago that restraints cannot come undone. I hope that's the case. I haven't ever heard of restraints popping open during a ride. If certain technologies don't allow the restraints to come open, then there is no point to add brakes everywhere. It just comes down to making sure everyone fits in their seat properly. I don't think this is the ride op's fault at all. Just a freak accident. Hopefully Texas Giant will open up again soon. I don't think there's anything wrong with the ride.

I don't think there was a malfunction of any kind. I am willing to bed that the rider (Rosy) pulled the restraint down against her stomach, not her waist. I don't think she was ever safely secured. Then on that first turn, she slipped out. At SFOT, Batman The Ride used to have a test seat. I feel like that would make sense for every ride. Put a test seat near the entrance of every rollercoaster and have someone on staff in charge of making sure everyone is safe to ride before they get in line.
