Sir Clinksalot Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 First of all ... If I don't feel safe in a restraint I won't ride the ride. I think the most comfortable are good ol' schwartzkopf lap bars. I do like the restraints on the B&M Flyers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snuggles Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Sorry to bring this thread back up, but I'll take a fixed position lapbar any day The B&M restraints are nice too, and modern PTC trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscoasters Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 When I go on to a coaster, I make sure that I'm safe. The restraint must be tight and never can it wiggle. If it moves, I'm off. Sometimes I have to tell myself that it's safe cause sometimes I get on Vekoma's . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme-me Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 My favorite restraints are either Butterfly restraints like the ones used on X and that "other funny 4-d coaster whose name I cannot pronounce" or the B&M ones on their flyers and floorless coasters. The restraints are extremely comfy and are a perfect fit. B&M overall makes the best restraints though. I love the design they used on Floorless coasters like Scream! where the seats are slightly reclined and the OSTR's are very comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I really love an Intamin T shaped restraints. They do make me feel safe when the ride is in speedy motion. I don't even feel some kinda scary feeling on the floating zone because I bet they'll secure me a lot from popping out of the car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-L-R-8 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 either clamshells or t-bars (i.e. XLR8R, SMOS, TTD.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjgx Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Intamin T-Bars with belts, and B&M inverted OTSRs... Comfortable and secure-feeling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDragon Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 the bars used on the s&s screamin swing... so unnaturally exposed, but so safe at the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JALWW Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Wow, It's usually the B&M Hyper seats, but now people are agreeing on the B&M Speedcoaster seats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I feel the safest on any coaster with a B&M restraint. They are nice and tight, but they do not take away from the ride experience. As for the worst, it would probably be arrow restraints. I always feel like I will fall out. Airtime-Vekoma makes some damn good restraints too-&Gravity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I, personally, like B&M restrainst the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Buzzbars! I like it when restraints don't touch my body! On the flip side, I think that the new Premier Lap Bars are pretty awful, I mean I love the idea, and they're better than getting your head bashed apart, but the weight of them on my stomach makes me sick. I could barely ride Mr. Freeze because it was hurting so bad. Elissa "so for upside down rides I like the Intamin stuff!" Alvey I must agree on the Buzzbars, nothing like bruised thighs to show for ejector air! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazen_AZN Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 My favorite restraints would probably be the ones used on X... aslong as the Aggressive Black Lady isn't working. But i've never really got into a coaoster, or any ride for that matter, where i didn't feel safe enough to ride. Save for maybe a zipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterNut17 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I Personally like the intamin OTSR, you know on V2. I just felt that those were very secure (probably because it holds you at the top of the back spike and you get thrown onto the restraint) I also like the B&M hyper restraints. I like that feeling of freedom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-L-R-8 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 i ALSO like intamin harnesses (storm runner, KK) cause they barley touch your body and you feel SO secure i LOVE the BTR SFGAM restraints as they hardly touch you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did she staple you too?!!! that was freakin annoying, I couldnt breathe the ENTIRE ride!!! When I got off I unfortunately decided to give her the finger. (and loose my possible Girl Friend at the same time) yeah, still like the restraints though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMAN962 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I like either Intamin lap bars, or any other B&M restraint. Especially stand up B&M's. They feel really safe to me. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocker_Dude Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I enjoy the vekoma death machine restraints LOL J/K I also enjoy the Betrothed Python's restraints LOL J/K My all time serious favorite would be...the old intamin T bar and B&M speed coaster restraints.

IwantRevenge Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Either B&M Clamshell since there so comfortable or Intamin OTSR since there so damn heavy you'll never get out of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 In terms of feeling secure, that'd be those newfangled Maurer X-Car lapbars. They feel like you've had everything below your waist encased in concrete and bolted down to the platform of the ride vehicle. But they are simply the worst restraints I've ever had the displeasure of having touched me. Having a giant wedge of heavy rubber creep ever further under your ribcage throughout the duration of an already uncomfortable ride is pretty miserable. It’s like getting a lapdance from a really fat chick who’s still eating and putting on weight as she sits there! So in the trade-off of security and comfort, SaS get my vote. Their new lapbars with two points of locking movement are wonderful. Flop it over your lap and make the fine adjustments by sliding it in and out. They need to tighten them up a tad though. They tend to have an inch or two of "give" which is kinda unnerving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayjay719 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I like the B&M clamshell myself. Its so comfortable and I feel the safest in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cprocks22 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I like prety much any B&M restraint aside from the stand up restraints (for obvious reasons). I especially love the flying restraints, very comfortable and very safe, even if i am laying on my stomach above the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calaway Park Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I've only ridden an Arrow and a Schwarzkopf, and sadly, even though the Schwarzy was the thrill of a lifetime, it had the horrible "Manhattan Express" restraints, the stupid accordion thing, so Arrow wins here.

Top Thrill Dragster Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 In terms of safety and comfort I have to go with X. I love X's restraints because I can move my legs and arms with little to no restriction. Also the restraints snug your body giving the since of security.

Gnome Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I liked the premier restraints feautured on the mummy rides. Though I'm not sure how similar those are to the one Elissa was talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
