I love a good roller coaster...but only if they have those over the chest harness thingies. Here's why:
A few years ago I went to an amusement park with my then-boyfriend-now-hubby. We were going on this ride that goes in one-loop-the-loop and then goes through it again backwards. I got in the car with him and all it had was one of these bars that goes over the lap.
This is normally all well and good. However, I am 5'2 and 100 lbs soaking wet. My hubby is 6'3 and 220 lbs. Are you starting to see a problem here? He pulled the bar over his lap and it fit him snugly. I, however, had a space of about a good eight inches between my lap and the bar.
Before I could voice my concerns the ride started. We were upside down twice...and I felt myself falling out of my seat and that little bar caught my lap. I have never held on for dear life like I did on that ride.
Funny thing was, my husband thought it was the most fun ride...he couldn't understand why left it shaking.
