  • To those that just want to see the ride it starts at 4:17
    For the whole story:
    Everyone meet James, the very nice employee working the Skymaster that told me to "CALM THE HELL DOWN!" when I asked if my harness would lock when the ride started.
    I ended up riding with a semi locked harness while holding myself in my seat by pushing up on the outer cage bars. The video was followed up with me confronting him and him telling me he doesn't give a f**k and that he's loaded.
    From everyone to you James thanks for endangering peoples lives on the rides. I hope all that "cash" you have can pay for your legal bill when you get someone killed :)
    Check out all this awesome stuff:

    i went on this, i was so scared especially when the guy told me if i do fall then the metal bars are there to catch me, and the restraints are supposed to be like that your basically supposed to hold on for your life 😂😭 which made it even more scarier but as soon as i got off my muscles were hurting and i felt so nauseous and dizzy i could barely eat anything for like a hour but i guess that was my fault for holding on so hard but i don't regret it at all it was super fun looking back and now that i know i rode that ride and survived i could ride any other ride which is one of the best parts of scary rides like these once you're done riding it you feel like you can conquer the world plus when we went back i rode it again 😊

    • @wendygoerl9162
      @wendygoerl9162 9 лет назад +7

      artist1011000 And I'm always wondering why they need to have belts holding the bars down if they pneumatically lock, anyway. Nobody complained when rides only had basic restraints,; now rides with the same motions have back-ups to the restraints and people complain they're not secure enough.

    • @wendygoerl9162
      @wendygoerl9162 9 лет назад +1

      *****
      I know all that. My point is: some have a back-up belt, some don't, and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme nor reason which do, and which don't have them. Classic steel-coaster rolling stock (no anti-sub shape to the seats) don't have belts, most inverted (anti-sub shaping to seats) coasters do. Skymaster here obviously does, Freak Out (very similar-looking seats) doesn't.

  • @randigreenaway7615
    @randigreenaway7615 9 лет назад +1

    This happened to me on the Skymaster. I was in, and it didn't lock all the way. The chest restraint came out about six inches from my chest. I have bruises on my ankles from holding on to the metal. They never even check the chest. The only thing holding me in was the seatbelt connected to the harness. It was terrifying.

    @skyeceleste 8 лет назад +13

    I went on this ride at the Melbourne show in Australia a few weeks ago, although it is called something different here but its the exact same ride. I don't know if they did semi lock it because i was in the exact same seat on the left at the front and i could also pull the thick black bars about 3 inches from my chest and i was honestly so scared on that ride. I spent the whole time, tensed up, holding/pressed against anything that would hold my weight. I didn't feel locked in properly, i didn't feel safe. I feel like when you are on this ride, that you are never really on the seat but you are not really held in properly by the bars. I hated every minute of it and honestly was shaking so much from holding on so tight that at one point i couldn't feel my hands anymore. I panicked way too much. I hate this ride. I looked up the ride and its other names and also started ready about many deaths on this ride. Including a young girl who got so frightened when it inclined at the top that is literally pulled her harness off, and climbed through 12 inch bars to plummet to her death. I wouldn't go on this ride again if you payed me. I think they need to tighten the bars, redesign it so you feel like you are held in better atleast because that is an expensive ride and to be honest, youre just paying for your worst nightmare, if you sit in that left seat at the front. My friend who was on the ride with me and sat at the front in the right seat, said it was pretty much the scariest ride she had been on but she didnt feel like i did. Not strapped in enough and like not really having a good time at all. lol Anyway, cool video guys and i felt your pain being on the ride in that seat man lol. Have a good day. :)

    The other one was at a fair / carnival-like (Schützenfest) and my restraint opened a few centimetres which should NEVER happen with that particular restraint system. I was still safe because these restraints are fail-safe and secured with different techniques. But it scared me a lot and also caused the cabins status lamp above my restraint to signal the problem.
    That being said, I ride theme park rides more often than most other people. Accidents and especially restraint failures are VERY rare.

  • @JannikVogel
    @JannikVogel 11 лет назад +1

    I agree - this is perfectly normal. This might seem dangerous and it's probably not as fancy as a modern restraint system but it gets the job done. It prevents you from falling out and can take a lot of force.
    This particular restraint swings a good bit and could possibly hurt you when falling back at you. But let me reassure you, that you won't fall out..
    Some of the older restraints might be broken, but they usually have 2-5 lock positions, if one breaks there is still enough backup..

    Though, I'm in Europe and operators seem a little bit more "cautious" and watched closely by law (Especially in Germany).
    I still experienced 2 restraint failures. One was a serious one in a roller-coaster (non looping), jr. coaster actually. I must have been around 10 at the time and the restraint system broke completly during exiting the station. There was a loud bang and the restraint opened. The seats were closed afterards and the park excused.

    I went on a ride like that (called lumberjack from canadas wonderland) and they barely checked her seat belt. It came off in the middle of the ride and they didn't have like a metal cage around it. We were literally screaming lmao.
