well thats not exactly true unless a malfunction happens like what happened to me on the back seat of high roller at valleyfair. my friend's seatbelt was locked into place, but mine could still freely move throughout the ride. the plus side though is that they couldnt get my lap bar to go up so they had to use a special tool so i wouldn't have fallen out anyway.

I also love being in B&M vest restraints, I always try to lean back and get the vest to lock as tightly as possible. They feel incredibly secure and escape-proof especially with the leg restraints as well. :)

I associate lap bars with a chill, sort of "feel like I'm flying, wind in my hair" experience. Shoulder restraints are more like "this ride is going to be intense, mentally and physically prepare yourself." I love both! Completely different experiences but both equally enjoyable.

I we to on a roller coaster that went upside down but you had to stand up. It's called hero. You stand in a little pod sliding your feet throu some metal gaps in the wall to stop you from smashing your legs. There is two handles at the front and a little window. One of the handles has twin on the side. One of them is at the very front. If you wanna see more search. Flamingo Land Hero PoV.

Thanks for the detailed explanations about the restraints. I was not aware of the redundancy factor, so that was good to hear. I always wondered if there was some kind of a fail-safe for the restraints in case they malfunction. It’s nice to know that there is. My biggest fear when riding roller coasters is that the restraints will somehow fail and come open during the ride. This video was reassuring!

In the extremely rare cases of someone falling out of a ride, it's almost never that the restraint failed mid-ride and popped open; when it's closed, it's staying closed until the end of the ride. It's usually that it was never sufficiently closed to hold the rider in in the first place. And that itself is a sign of a design and systems failure, because the ride should not be able to dispatch in that situation--usually leading to the restraints being modified to keep it from happening again.

Videos like these are what I can thank for making me a coaster enthusiast. I always used to be scared of rides because I thought they were unsafe. After I learnt about just how safe roller coasters were, I started going on every single one I possibly could. I now have 0 fear going on to a roller coaster and have a credit count of over 200, which, for an Australian, is pretty bloody good considering we have probably got fewer than 20 roller coasters in the country.

Honestly though they make me feel secure, I always associate them with headbanging, since my first looping coaster ended with me having a massive headache that lasted all day. I'd honestly say my favorite would be lap bars from above the head (like on Velocicoaster for example), since they'd give the same sense of security for me, working the same way Shoulder restraints do, without the concern of headbanging.

I'm starting to hate shoulder restraints on any ride. Just unnecessary. They only perhaps make sense on dive coasters (and then only on the front row) as you're hanging over the edge face down, but Hangtime does exactly that and has lapbars (not to mention a bunch of inversions too). Shoulder restraints age like sour milk. An older (10 years or more) coaster with shoulder restraints is almost guaranteed to be unpleasant

Thank you for this video, it was so interesting to learn more about such a topic.

Now I'm fascinated by the question of *why* someone would call over-the-shoulder restraints "Wolverhamptons". There seems to be no public trace of this so maybe your mother coined the term! I found a video of them in use at a funfair ride there, but funfair rides happen in a lot of places...

@@MattMcIrvin Your reply actually made me go and ask her about this, cause to be honest I never even thought to question the process behind naming them. But apparently it goes even deeper than just my mum, she got the term from a friend of her's who started calling them that, and sadly there's no way now to find out why he called them that either. Regardless, I think it's such a fun name for them, even without knowing the true meaning, but it is quite peculiar why that city of all places was used to name them, especially as you say there's barely any link between Wolverhampton and theme parks. It's open to interpretation at this point, maybe one day an answer will be found.

The vests suck on the few I've been on. They do kill most of the potential airtime, especially on Banshee & Wild Eagle. Some vest restraints constrict when riding also. On Wild Eagle, for example, it was crushing my chest midway through the course, and wasn't very pleasurable. Wing Coasters are already the most boring B&M model (to me), that didn't help my view of them. Gatekeeper's wasn't so bad, but they ruin any sort of freedom I'm able to get from the old OSTRs. Banshee could be the best if it had the old ones. I do agree that the old Vekoma OTSRs are the worst. Their vest-like OTSRs are much more comfortable, but are still somewhat restrictive on space (I'm a hands-up kinda person).

I have been on one that had the same stiff lap bar for a row of 4 people. Skinny 12-year old me could climb out at any time if there was a larger individual on that row. Ride didn't go upside down luckily

You mean Pepsi Max in Blackpool Pleasure Beach? Never again. Idk how it is now, but it was my first rollercoaster, and for the longest time, it was my last. EDIT: it's confirmed, they still have the same dingy loose-ass seat belt and metal rod in the front to hold onto...

Another notable thing: S&S uses a combination Hydraulic-Ratcheting restraint system on their modern rides from my experience working Power Tower at Cedar Point, which got the new system added this year. I don't know the exact workings though, just that we have to independently lock the hydraulics after the ratcheting system.

I don't know, some of those early wooden coasters in the 1920s were more insane than anything that would be allowed to run today. Rides that *routinely* injured riders just by violently jolting them around. The standard restraint of the time was just a single-position lap bar (if it existed at all); you were rattling around like a BB in a tin can. There were even a few (not many) that went upside down, and in some cases the G-forces involved were so great that they were actually dangerous. I do agree that since the dawn of what you might call the modern era in the 1970s, there's been some amazing escalation.

Had my restraint come off on the top of bizaros lift hill at six flags great adventure. My reaction was super chill to it, while my mom freaked out and complained to the ride operator who told her thats what the seat belts are for. What was the first thing i did... Ride it again. I will never let one bad ride ruin my passion for coasters

Lap bars are the best in my opinion. Nothing beats the feeling of almost flying out of your seat! Plus over the shoulder ones are extremely uncomfortable.

Yeah the vest style ones on modern B&M rides are unbeatable imo. First time I rode The Swarm I worried the slow inversion at the start would be uncomfortable. With the vest restraints though I could happily sit in that upside-down position for about 5 minutes haha!

Luke Henderson I do think that Mack Lapbars are comfortable, but something I notice with the Mack coasters I have been on, I am not sure if this qualifies for all of them, but I notice that the Mack restraints come further down on you as the ride progresses, so like towards the end of their rides the airtime is less intense than it was at the beginning of it. Do you know what I mean?
