Yikes, Jeff, if you thought that was hostile...well, whatever. Maybe you should think of responding kinder when you respond to someone who has incorrect information, also? Pot...kettle...black.
At any rate, about BTR in SFStL stopping on lift for seatbelts, yes, it was either an op who saw it from a camera on the life, or when the train left the station. I've seen it happen many a time on Raptor. It'll stop ten feet after engaging in the life, and op will walk up the lift and attach the belt and the train will be on its merry way.
On AC and RB I'm sure many of you have seen the infamous "red line." That is used to help determine if the lap bar is down at least three clicks. However, even if you can see the red line, that doesn't necesarily mean the lap bar is down far enough. The "contact" will relay a message when all lap bars in a row are down to the operator panel, that's how we know when a row is secure or not. Only B&M hypers have this (maybe G5 and Oblivion, I do not know about those, but doubt it since they have seat belts). Usually the way you tell if an inverted or standup is secure enough is if the seat belt is attached, that's why they don't need the contacts like the hypers do.
And that concludes your lesson about B&M restraints for today. Any questions? :)
