[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don't understand how netting (at 65+ mph) would be a "safety" item. Anything at that speed is dangerous.[/quote] Netting under roller coasters is pretty standard to keep things like cell phones that fall out of people's hands from hitting people below. I wonder if that was the thinking. I can't imagine they thought the netting was a solution to people coming out of their seats. Seems like the harness/seatbelt is the solution to that.[/quote] I think the key word is under. There are videos of people riding it and the netting and framing is pretty darn close to people's heads. In hindsight, it seems extremely dangerous. [/quote] I am not saying it was a good idea, just that I can't believe that they anticipated people flying all the way out of their seats, hitting netting, and then returning to a safe sitting position. There is no way the netting was designed to solve that particular problem.[/quote]
