Restraint Failure

No, the seat did not come up. Just the shoulder harness.

If it happened on S:UE'S hold, it might not be that bad. They have the belt. However, the looser the belt the more you would fall forward.

Let me just say this first - I'm a VERY paranoid person and would rather sacrifice airtime for a tight seatbelt than be afraid of falling out of a ride. That said, I have two *minor* little incidents. While going up the lift of SkyRider(PCW-TOGO standup), I was pulling to the sides the two restraints with the handles on them that kind of function like OTS's but you push together instead of down, and they popped open about three notches - needless to say, I shut them as tight as I possibly could (can't....breathe...). Still didn't hold on though :). My other little incident was on The Bat at Canada's Wonderland (Vekoma boomerang) - going backwards up the first lift, the restraint opened a little, but I let it stay that way until the second lift... it was fun!
It happened to me once on Nessie at BGW where you roll out of the station to the lift, and the restraint started to move up. I was scared so I jammed it down and fortunately it clicked. btw Nessie has no Seatbelts
