lap bars are actually significantly safer! with over the shoulder restraints, you risk head injury on just normal ride throughs, and some p serious bleeding if you have earings of some sort. lap bars dont have this problem at all. So while its easy to say oh i think id feel safer w the restraints near my head, remember that feeling safer and being safer r 2 seperate things.

Not to mention Top Thrill 2, which is currently the 2nd tallest coaster in the world and has the tallest vertical spike. That has a lap bar. Falcon's Flight will also open with lapbars, which will be around 200 ft taller than TT2.

exactly, in this day and age everything needs to be tested dozens of times before they can even consider letting the public access it. It's like with cars, they can bring out a new model that is built exactly like the last one but still need to do all the safety tests again even if not a single thing has changed. You can't just build a coaster and let people on without proving it won't kill people first, it's the same reason why they have height and sometimes even weight restrictions, that is the range in which they proved it was safe to ride during their testing phase

even with over the shoulder restraints double amputees should not go on coasters. it would still be risky and i doubt companies are willing to make restraints specifically made for amputees. to insure this dosent happen, avoid activities that may remove your legs

I can understand why people would get scared as im a massive roller coaster person and i have had a time where i collapsed in the queue for a rollercoaster due to fear (granted this was caused by a friend who none stop went on about how brand new the coaster was), but out of every single roller coaster ive rode i can say without a doubt that Icon at Blackpool and Sik at Flamingo Land were the 2 that I felt safest on, and you may think "why is he mentioning Sik and Icon" well both Sik and Icon are Mack coasters which have Lap bars and not over the head restrains Reminder: I've rode every single coaster at Flamingo Land, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, yes that's not loads but its enough to give a decent judgement about the restraints and what feels safest

I feel like hyperia of all rides sparking this argument online is incredibly stupid, the ride is supposed to imitate the feeling of flying freely, and the ride’s motto is “find your fearless”, with the lap restraint, you can move your upper body, giving the sensation of flying 230 ft in the air unsupported.

It does seem like that on the surface, untill you realise that most are either clickbait or have been picked out of a long period of time. For example, Coaster College and his long running 'what really happened' series has many episodes, however when you compare it to the amount of riders on coasters per day and per year, you realise the number is incredibly low.
