B&M, Vekoma, Arrow Restraints

[LiVeToThRiLl90]

Anyone have the problem that i have?. I'm skini, but not that small, When i board any B&M, vekoma, or arrow ride and the restraint is too loose and i push down hard and it dosen't get any tighter. someties it can make the ride better but simetimes.......

 

I went on the flashback at SFNE before and will never go on it again, i really was slipping out up the lift hill, i had to push on the inside on the car to keep myself upright. I was sitting in the front seat. on the way backwards i was slipping a little in the inversions. when i got off i was shaking, my friends were concerned becuase, they said, i looked like i saw a ghost.

 

i love coasters as u can guess i love intamin coasters, custom fit, Hydraulic lap bars, TTD, millennium, superman ROS (SFNE). i love those and wooden coasters i have no problem being loose, it makes it more fun.

IF I'm skinny and short will I have this problem?

[goleafsgo]

if skinny and kinda short and i have no problem at all with the restraits on any coaster.

[LiVeToThRiLl90]

yea idk, it depends on the coaster and seat, im sure if i sat in another seat it would be different. I'm about 120 pounds about 5'6, im athletic, idk, my midsection is flat. yea none of my friends have problems either. i went on alpengeist at BGE and it was soo tight i could not breath but the majority of the time it's very loose.

I'm also very skinny. I only weight 90 pounds and about 5'4''. I havne't had any trouble with restraints at all. But then again, my home park is PCW so there aren't any intense roller coasters.

[goleafsgo]

90 pounds?!?!?

 

 

is that healthy?

[vjgx]

I usually don't have a problem.

 

Although i did notice a little annoyance with the restraints for Boomerang at Knott's Berry Farm (the same as Flashback at SFNE)... the restraints DON'T go down very far and are actually pretty loose, even when locked... which didn't allow me to stay in all too well.

I only have not problem with.....some B&M restraints, the worst were Stand-up restraints, even though I've only been on one, The Riddler's Revenge's restraints are a bit loose on me. And Goliath at SFMM was too loose. Tatsu was perfect! Most others are fine.

I've been on KFB Boomerang along with 2 others, and I agree about the restraints. They don't seem to stay down as far as I pull them...I never really had a problem with restraints though. I'm skinny too, but very tall.

I'm 4'11.... I'm extremely short... and now I feel fat..because I weigh 105 pounds...

Unless you mean killograms, I think you're lying or anorexic.

Keep your body erect (tee hee) and hold on tight and you'll be fine. You aren't dead yet, are you?

[chavslayer]

Im skinny but I have never had a problem with loose restraints, in fact I prefer them to be loose.

[RctInfinity]

Dude! LOL, I am only eleven years old and the restraints feel snug for me. I am skinny as well...with about 60-70 pounds.

[nitral]

90 pounds?!?!?

 

 

is that healthy?

 

lol...i guess so ! i haven't gotten any serious sickness or anything problems. I go to the gym for cardio just to keep fit.

[goleafsgo]

i think you should start doing weights or something...

[jamesissoocool]

the ones i like ares thes ones on ritia

[ConleyKE]

I'm 5 ft 3' and weigh 90 pounds as well. I have always been low on the charts but am very healthy. Just have a high metabolism, which is starting to slowly go down. I'm a gymnast, so I do work out 5 days a week.

 

As for B&M's, arrows, ect. I fit into the restraints just fine. I just hate when you think you can get it one notch tighter, and it locks too close.

[LiVeToThRiLl90]

You little kids are stupid, Sure it will fit if ur smaller, there are more knotches just im between two, hello ride restrictions. Just I wanted to know if someone had the same problem as me, always being right after another knotch and too far from the next one. It means im right in the middle of one. or maybe i pick a bad seat i don't know. Someone said something about stand-up coasters. Yea i went on Mantis at CP a few weeks ago, and it was soooo loose but that made the drop more fun, but not on a Vekoma boomerang model coasters.

 

Has anyone been on one of the DeJa VUs?

 

i couldn't imagine what that would be like getting a loose restraint on one of those.

[Golfie]

I'm SUPER skinny, but I never have a problem with slipping out of the restraint... I don't really see how that could happen, either (crotch spike and seat belt restraint holder)

[allisonLOVEsTPR]

feeling like your going to slip out and die makes rides more intresting lol

[LiVeToThRiLl90]

You people are not getting it, i want to know of someone who has the problem because, they probally have a very similar body size to me and each coaster and seat vary. You can't base it on that. One time on the Batman: The DArk Knight coaster i got it so tight i could not breathe and another time i sat in the front and it was very loose . Ive never had a "problem" with it until that boomerang model. Most of the time i dont get a snug fit though.

[LiVeToThRiLl90]

Sure it does, u probally never experienced so, you probally have no right to talk. Oh, and not all coasters have the seat belt at the bottom, i rode the flashback in 2005, so i don't know if that changed or not in "06" season. I saw that it had new restraints though, this season. I rode the corkscrew at CP ( i hate the ride it's soo rough) but it had that seat belt too.

[Satoshi]

i'm 5 ft and 10.5 inches but i only weigh 115 pounds so i feel no

tightness on intamin's lapbars and over the shoulder restraints.

then what about b&m restraints? you guess i'm ok for that?

[LiVeToThRiLl90]

really intamin?, there restraints are hydraulic they should be cumstom fit. Yea you'll be fine ur probally close to my size. Just try to stay away from vekoma boomerang models, well try one and see. B&M is fine but stand-up coasters can be very loose.
