Idiots who reach out of coaster cars ruin it for the rest of us. If people keep trying to do stupid stuff, soon, we're going to have to lock our hands to our lap. Just ride the ride and don't reach out of the coaster. (Think about it, a 10 million dollar lawsuit is enough to buy 1 new coaster (minus shipping and construction costs))
Time for my favorite word.........bleh I don't really care, normally I keep em down cause holding them up is too much of a hassle every time I ride a coaster .
with ots restrainsts it's too hard for me to put my arms up...but usually I keep my hands on my lap...or something. Same for regular lap restraints...sometimes I'm too lazy to put my arms up, but I'll keep em on my lap...not holding on.

Yeah that happened, on a lot of coasters if you stick your arm horizontally sideways you will not be feeling good afterwards , but you'll be fine if you just keep them up.
I thought the finger chopping happened in the station. the way I heard it, the person had his arm down over the side near the silver step and when the train rolled into the station, the platform and that step crushed his fingers.
I put my arms up on everything but Demon, Iron Wolf, and sometimes batman, depends if the person thats sitting next to me is or not because my arms might not even fit.

You don't want to put your arms up if your tall on Space Mountain in WDW Magic Kingdom. I was too scared to put mine up after hearing the stories that have come out of there.
