Someone like me could more easily get out of a B&M OTSR than almost any lapbar, including a buzzbar. If I was a person with a large body, it would probably be the other way around. In reality, I think OTSRs are more common because A. On inverted/suspended coasters, it keeps hands down and away from the wheels and B. Lawyers/insurance. What appears safer is what often will be used. Example would be Premier coasters. Because OTSRs seemed safer, they were used. But due to rider discomfort, they were changed. I would trust the lap bars more than OTSRs. Anyways, didn't Robin Chiller get stuck in it's cobra roll with riders recently? I think I read a sensationalized newspaper article about it from Florida, and everyone was fine.

yeah, i think if you do like they do on TTD and MF and make sure the lap bar is as far down as possible before they let you out of the station, then all is well. but it can't be run like some woodies where you are allowed room for airtime if you so desire.... 8)

I think all 3 are stupid. So I voted once for each one.
Eh, what's up?

Why didn't you just not vote at all? It would have made the same impact on the results.

He had time to waste and was very bored? Or a lapse in brain function caused him to fail to realize 1=1=1, and when you do something equal to anything, it fails to impact it. :roll: Or maybe he thought there were alternate animations for each choice, and you wouldn't know until you click on them.
