I believe that is why they use the 5 point harness now. Two straps over the shoulders, one between the legs ( :o ), and two around the waste. Its the same system that race car drivers and fighter jet pilots use.

A 40-year-old woman fell out of the boat as it made its steep descent down a 115-foot drop at the end of the ride. She fell into the water and was later pronounced dead at a local hospital. The investigation is focusing on both the woman's size and whether a ride attendant checked her restraint.


Another issue with rider size and improper restraints.

As for video, Dave might have some video clips, I know that he visited the park about a year ago, but I don't think they are rendered. He might be nice and release some. Otherwise I know he has some GREAT shots in the Photozone.

I just watched the video at http://www.Knotts.com. It looks pretty thrilling, but I don't like large drops on water rides or big splashes.

When my friend went to Knott's, his brother and sister couldn't go on b/c they did't weigh enough
I'd rather be riding the Voyage
