Right, I'm Not Riding Another Vekoma Boomerang!

Why the hell didn't they E-stop it then? Unless I'm reading it wrong, if it came undone before going backwards, it should stopped on the reverse spike.

I know Cedar Point, and I'm assuming their parks have put seatbelts on all their Arrows and Vekomas with OTSRs, similar to what B&M use to lock in their restraint.

This isn't going to stop me from riding Boomerangs, although they make me nauseas, just like the accidents with Intamin aren't going to stop me from hopping back on one.

The b&m seat belts secure absolutely nothing apart from rider's psychological safety, if the impossible were to happen that seat belt won't hold the restraint and weight of the rider down

what the seat belt can be used for, by some park operators at least, by making the belts a certain length, they'll only reach the buckle if the restraint is closed down at least "three clicks" on the ratchet, so it would have to slide past three ratchets to fully open if the device was to fail, which is very, very, very unlikely

Interestingly Intamin coasters require an electrical charge to open the restraints, so a power pack (truck battery) has to be used if the train is to be evacuated at a point on the track outside the station
