Can shoulder harnesses and lap bars on roller coasters come lose during a ride?
I'm a big fan of thrill rides at amusement parks. I live near Six Flags Great Adventure and had a blast there recently. Even though I like super coasters, I've been thinking...When your on a ride that has a restraint that is locked in place by compressed air(when the ride operator hits that button which locks them in), such as a shoulder harness or lap restraint, is there any way that this can come unlocked during the ride? I don't mean the harnesses that are held together by clipping in the additional seat belt, I'm talking specificially about the ones that are used with compressed air when the operator hits the bottom which locks them from being opened. Thanks for your help.
Coaster restraints don't have their own air-compressed locks. Instead, there's actually a bar that's operated by the compressed air that, under normal operating conditions, default position is low air. This means more air must be pumped to push the bar, which then pushes against a spring-loaded lock to unlock restraints. When the operator pushes the button to lock them, that extra air is dispelled and the bars fall back into default position on low air. FYI--brakes work the same way, except default position is closed (or "up" in the case of spring brakes.) That extra air is used to open them (or lower them.)
As for restraints coming up during your ride, it's not unheard of but nothing to lose your shorts over. Primarily it's caused by worn ratchets on the locking mechanisms. These are basically small metal wheels with "teeth", resembling a spur on the back of someone's cowboy boots. The restraint has one, and there's also one inside the train itself. The correspond each other, and the teeth on the restraint lock into the one inside the train. This is why you can push most restraints down after they've locked but you can't push up, because those teeth have engaged each other. If any of those teeth are worn, they'll lock but might shimmy around, coming loose and therefore, not locking where it originally was. But it will just lock on the next one, or the next one after that, or the one below it, etc..
If you're ever faced with a restraint that pops up mid-ride, just push it back down. If it doesn't stay down to where you're comfortable, just hang on to your grab bar and plant your feet on the bottom of the train, if possible. You're not going anywhere unless you decide to not remain in the regular seating position.

The Fearless Home Buyer: Razzi's Rules for Staying in Control of the D $0.25 All across the country, home ownership rates are at their highest levels in years. With prices escalating monthly in the most popular areas, buyers need to look carefully before they leap. And the best place to find the information they need to make a wise home purchase is this superb new guide by award-winning journalist and real estate expert Elizabeth Razzi, which focuses as much on lifestyle as on finances.BRBRTaking a consumer-advocate approach to buying a home, Razzi tackles all of the important financial issues, and explains what a home buyer (particularly a first-time buyer) needs to know about selecting brokers, agents, and mortgage bankers. What separates this book from the pack is that it also addresses important lifestyle matters: How do you size up a neighborhood? Tour a house? Anticipate what a home will actually be like to live in? The first in a projected new series of Fearless real estate titles, this book provides the kind of positive, authoritative advice that will turn any nervous home buyer into a fearless home buyer.7 BRBRBy an award-winning real estate journalistBRWritten specifically for the non-investor-the millions of Americans who are buying a home to actually live inBRFresh consumer-advocate's approach to buying a home transforms nervous home buyers into fearless home buyersBRExplains everything the first-time or move-up buyer needs to know about staying in control of the deal-from getting a mortgage to the closingBRDiscusses the lifestyle issues to be considered before buying a home: how to select a neighborhood; the pros and cons of different house styles; how to test the commute |
