And her wrist, apparently.
It's hard to read the narrative of the lawsuit. Oh no! You had to check restraints over and over, as a ride operator! What exactly else would you expect to be doing?

More understandable would be someone working as an op on the Premier LIM bowls suing for damage to their hips, knees and ankles from having to bend over so far they could touch their toes just to check restraints. Really great rides (since the OTSRs went away about a decade ago) - just hellishly designed station platforms....for employees.
Well they could just do what Disney does and have each rider push up on their bar for them.

Just wondering, back in the day for example Coney Island Cyclone circa 1950, did ride op's even check restraints or did they rely on people's common sense?
