Along with seat belt backup, that tower also 'tilts back' prior to (or just entering) brake run so high G's are pushing body straight down into seat. It really surprised me Icon has their tower hit brakes still tilted forward, which puts extreme amount of force on the exact portion of OTSR's which allowed guest to slide out. Prior to accident I assumed it also tilted back during drop, but nope. *of course we'll only know reasoning after full investigation. Video and picture clearly shows how high OTSR's were prior to ride, and moment he slid out was when braking started.

Was wondering the same thing... Knott's still hasn't re-opened. Just been sitting there, no work being done, for a long time. -

I think 21 for food service incase alcohol is served, but 18 for cashiers/non-bar/gift shop positions. Although, 18 does seem young for loss prevention & security. -

TR: AJ's 2012 Summer Adventures

Almost every caption has a negative statement, weather it be about the photo itself or comparing it to another attraction that is 'worse than' or 'better than' the item photographed. I found this to be one of the most depressing trip reports I've ever read on TPR. -

lmao... I'm starting to see all the "backwards" comments more and more now too. Gotta love the GP. (But yes, CP was just asking for it when they edited the video that way) -
Flowriders - The evil within...
wesley815 replied to KBrylczyk's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I agree! Uhh... I guess you've never been in the ocean (or dive into water and land wrong)? There's a sea floor that is much more painful then any theme park flowrider. Waves crash and body slam you into water when actually surfing. http://www.waveloch.com/safety Yes, I know I missed the humor in your first post. Had to defend flow riders though, they are not painful and very fun!
