Bars are more of a mental safety, makes people feel safer. In rare occasions it might help.

YES!!!! That mentality as a parent these days is so rare. We all seem so concerned with safety, which is an important topic, but no one will ever make it out of this life alive or without scars. And kids should understand their own mortality as much as kids can without actual risk to their life. I applaud your parenting style.

[@JohnathanBuckhouse]

Thank you so much 🙏🏼 So happy that people agree 💪🏼

Ouch poor little dude, so tough tho and he still wanted to snowboard! Way to go Roman! I was there with my son when he scorpioned, I’m glad he’s still trying things. We can’t shield them from everything. Good job out there dad!!!

[@marcus9127]

I think the topic with the restraining bar is maybe just a think in the US. In Europe (Austria, Switzerland) you can barely see anyone, who has the bar not closed. I personally think, that the bar is a really good think and that you should Roman get used to a closed bar, so that he will also do it in the future.

[@docomega7862]

I'm not from the US, so I could be wrong. But, watching these videos, I feel like many people in the US are self taught. While in france, most people went through ski / snowboarding school at least 1 or 2 years to get the basics of a proper technique. And at ski school, they always make you put the bar down. So it's just a habit at this point, you get in, get comfy and then put the bar down. Which could explain why it's not a topic here

[@alpinecableways]

In Switzerland if you don't put the bar down they (lift man) yell at you. and not using the bar is not cool beceause resorts buyed it for nothing if people doesn't use it. Greetings from switzerland and poor him from faliing.

[@dahnkedj]

Not putting the bar down is like not wearing a helmet, why take the risk when there's a perfectly good piece of safety equipment designed to help keep you safe and out on the mountain. Remember, accidents are called accidents because no one saw them coming and that's where safety equipment can make the difference.

[@jdbd60]

Loved seeing Roman shredding. He is getting so good!! 💖 What fun for you and him having this special time together!💞So fun seeing all the family at the mountain.

[@Astro4G]

As a new dad Johnathan is a prime example of the dad I want to be in the future. Roman is killing it! I only hope to be able to do this with my son.

[@perry8357]

I think if you can use a bar, use it cause it just makes it so much safer and you can just chill without having the worry of falling off

[@MatthewMiller716]

I normally put the bar down. However I also ride with a backpack. I'll lean forward and rest on the bar so I don't have to take my pack off or push my back into the lift. Have had a few times where I leaned forward because I was used to having a bar and didn't so that was scary. Been riding for 17 years. Just what I'm used to

[@ToiletClogger1945]

wow Roman is getting GOOD. look at dohs heel sides lol what an awesome Dad, this video is adorable af

[@DK.Adventures]

I can't wait to have kids and teach then to snowboard and these videos give me major baby fever. Great videos, hopefully I can meet you on the slopes next season.

[@acheritree_]

Johnathan this content is the cutest! I think you're interactions with your son are fantastic and you're content on building him up strong is very thoughtful. Love watching these videos with Roman and happy to see he loves the camera. Keep on having fun!!

[@clockradio989]

Keeping the bar up seems like an American thing. I have been Skiing for 33 years in Canada, always put the bar down and most people do as well. Some resorts enforce putting it down. With my young kids I like when there is a handle that can go between their legs. I don't think it really matters, but does seem like a worthwhile safety feature.

[@lizardsempire5770]

My ski resort doesn’t even have bars lol

[@MatthewMiller716]

The amount of times I've slammed I know what to look for in the snow, the conditions, time of day you're most vulnerable, etc. Always nervous for the chipmunk where you're the most tired and body is relaxed. You're setup for the epic slam

[@vihz5310]

I need a list of the resorts that you go to year round. I live in Canada and this is literally a goal of mine to snowboard everyday. I’m still pretty young and plan to save a bunch first but congratulations dude! You’re living life how it was meant.

[@cookiecracker6266]

Man Roman is too cute bro. I’ve been dying to get my boys out but they grow like weeds so it’s a fortune on gear outside of normal rentals. On the bar subject, I make the people riding with me put it down 😂😂😂. I use it to lean and rest on. Has nothing to do with keeping me safe, I just get winded at my age quickly lol

[@clintkaufman1011]

I’m sorry but I just started wheezing when he fell on his bike because of how it turned

[@bramvg1305]

In the resorts where I ski, which are in europe, the bar on a chairlift always goes down, and once down, you can't open it until you arrived at the terminal

[@TheSpadre]

Being a skier, if it is a long lift ride, I will put the bar down so I can rest my skis on the little crossbar. It relieves pressure off my knees. But I don't feel like it is necessary for safety.

[@gijshoekstra8519]

in europe all chair lifts have bars and everyone uses them

[@AmyStoneYT]

I was born in the mid-‘70s. Grew up in the ‘80s. I distinctly remember learning to ride my cousins 2 wheeler bike (no training wheels) at their house which was “on base” as their dad was Air Force. I fell into the same damn rose bush a dozen times. 😂 BUT… that 13th time…. I made it around the block. Kids definitely need to be put into situations where they have the opportunity to crash so they learn to get up. Well done to your son.

[@sax1607]

Amazing dad!

[@pablosanchez000]

Bar up in the Midwest. Bar down when out west. That's how we usually do it. Partly due to the length of time on the chairlift and most of the Midwest lifts aren't high speed detachables.

[@SkipNort]

I love how you always do great job of encouraging him and making it fun for him its really hard to get the little ones out there unless your doing it like this

[@-Xilef-]

Same every time it makes me scared Especially because my hill would take your pass if you didn’t put it down

[@richardlangdon2959]

I only ski in Europe and every chair lift i have ever been on the bar goes down and is used, some are even automatic.

[@emilyandrews763]

Love your lessons about failure. It’s so important to teach that failure is an integral part to the learning process and that it shouldn’t warrant punishment.

[@Nannarii]

You should 100% put the bar down, if the chairlift stops abruptly people (and less experienced riders in particular) can slide off without anything to hold on to. And even though you feel like you don't need it, you're setting an example for the people who DO need it. You probably don't need a helmet while snowboarding with your kid either, but you still use it.

[@JohnathanBuckhouse]

I like it

[@DreB23]

"Wiggle, Wiggle!" 🥺😊😄

[@SirKio]

Some lifts are hella sketch and sway a lot, I only put a bar down then.

[@Andy-rp3ee]

My squirrelly kids get the bar every time lol :) They are always extra crazy on old 2 seaters...

[@steveridescapita8918]

Love these roman vids! I’ll usually put the bar down, but in the back of my mind I know its not doing much as far as safety, I like it mostly to rest my board

[@rynetreatch9558]

As far as letting Roman slam, that’s called being a good dad. Part of our job as dads is raising our kids to be tough, strong, and resilient. This is a part of that.

[@deblXD]

WTF

[@31782mbnh]

When i first started skiing i used to put the bar down but once i got more confident and my ability blossomed, i found the bar to be more of a hindrance. If i was riding solo on a lift the bar usually stayed up, if i was with others who weren't as comfortable as me, i let them decide. My mother on the other hand wasn't a strong skier and neither was my sister so when we would go as a family, my mom would pester me whereas my dad was just impressed that i didn't care lol

[@31782mbnh]

Also, plz get him a bike helmet, just like snowboarding, helmets can help.

[@robcarr8505]

The bar only matters if the chair starts to swing. I've hit one of the towers and flown out of the chair and hit the ground hard. If it's not swinging, I don't bother with it either.

bar down is def the way to go for kids like 13 and under maybe 12 because they are life-saving, I heard my dad say a kid fell off the chair lift without the bar down luckily some high schoolers saved him with some of the net fencing which is crazy but def on the bar down side of things :)

[@miketee8415]

I like bar down so I can lean on it or rest my board on it if it's got foot rests. Also, if there's a lift malfunction it could save you from getting flung off.

[@shoostertagzkfztagz715]

keep it down lol i feel more safe

[@brodysghent1358]

Roman got injured at 14:20

[@sollamander2206]

I get leg twitches from time to time so I like the bar for that, but I mainly use it so that if I'm trying to manipulate something like my phone or food and I drop it I don't accidentally lunge forward to try to recover it. I get your point about a bar without the leg divider thing being a bit of an illusion of safety that could be counterproductive, particularly for small kids. The style of chairlift seat you're in for that segment is also a lot more angled and deeper than some older chairs, particularly old doubles.

[@estino4]

In Europe every single chair lift has a bar, and I believer they are mandatory, don't quote me on that but I believe so. some lifts even have automatic ones that automatically open and close so you don't have a choice there. also I personally believe they are a good thing, not only for safety but also having a place to rest your ski's or snowboard on a long one is very nice.

[@mrliam07studios61]

In Australia I think it’s the law to put the safety bar down on a chairlift, if you don’t put it down then the chairlift will be stopped until you do, if you still don’t, the chair will go forward at an extremely slow pace.

[@stupidagface1]

I feel like Americans are the only ones that don't put the bar down. Canadians always put it down no matter how good they are at riding. I'm talking about like top 0.01 percent riders. I'd imagine Europeans ride bar down. And I'm pretty sure Australians do too. Honestly it's way more comfortable with a bar to rest on and not care about shit. Like laying down on a chair
