I remember the last time I went on a lap bar only coaster, my ass lifted up off the seat and I went "this is how I die" in my head. I'm pretty slim and pretty light, so most lap-bars KIND OF hold me but not very well. Depending on the force of the coaster I could've slipped right out of the seat and died right there on the spot. That moment convinced me that I will ONLY ride a ride with a full shoulder harness.

I'm less concerned about being bumped around (although that IS a problem sometimes, I left my last wooden coaster with bruises all over my arms and hips from being slid back and forth inside the car) and more about being sucked out of the seat into the air. That's always my main fear for anything where I'm not locked in place.

I used to research theme park accidents when I was younger to try and de-phobia myself so my friends wouldn't make fun of me for not wanting to go on thrill rides, but I had the misfortune of going to college where Cedar Point was our closest park and fuck going on Cedar Point's big rides, lol.
