I just got to thinking:
What are Son of Beast's restraints like? It just wouldn't be a real wooden coaster with horsecollar vests. I should think a normal lap bar and seatbelt would still be able to hold you in, right?

There is NOTHING stopping you from undoing your seatbelt.The lapbar is locked into place so theres no way around that and who would anyways?But Ive been on more than enough coasters where there isnt any seatbelts so why shouldnt I be able to keep riding without one??As long as the lapbar holds you in..who cares!I dont.try it sometime..youll love the air time..stick to what you know S.O.B..you arent the one who has to claim my dead body..my husband does!
I don't see how an unbuckled seat belt would provide any additional airtime on a coaster that already has a lapbar. it sounds rather pointless to me, seems like the loose buckle flying around would cause some pains anyway... ...then again, I like to do what the ride ops tell me to do, so I wouldn't know.
Well..the seatbelt doesnt fly around..you sit on it.
And to get the little extra airtime you dont pull your lapbar down all the way.I started doing this when I began my coaster enthusiast tours three years ago.I watched this older gentleman pull down his lapbar to about two-three inches above his lap and unbuckle his seatbelt.I thought he was nuts and I thought his family would have to look for him beneath the tracks.But hes still kicking and he introduced me to a new way of experiencing wooden coasters.Pretty cool...

People who ride without seat belts or otherwise disregard the safety rules are morons. I don't want you riding to me as you could become a threat to other people's safety as well. Riding sans seat belt doesn't provide any more air time because the lap bar is the real stopping force. People who do stupid things like this are the reason people are crying for federal regulation (see news section).
Safety is no accident.

Furthermore, Coastermonster, if you choose to violate the rules (and take a safety risk)and that presented only a danger to yourself, no one would be as concerned. However, in the unlikely event the bar failed and you did fly out, you could injure others. In any event, it's true that we won't be the ones to claim your dead body, but we will be the ones inconvenienced by the fact that they would shut the ride down and cause a lot of bad press concerning the safety of roller coasters. Of course, maybe you don't really ride without seatbelts, but merely project that impression to create an interesting discussion. I respond here on the off chance that you really are, as Jeff put it, a moron.
