    The days when The Grand National ran without restraints. Amazing to think these days existed!

    Great to see, That's the grand national I remember, used to love it, holding on for life and bouncing out of the seat, proper thrill, they've ruined it now with these restraint things that keep you pinned in and kill your legs 🙄

    Look at that, no restraints. The airtime is mad enough with the tight ratcheting lap bars it has now, I can’t imagine it with NONE

    The audio comes from a pov from the big one.

      I wanna apologies for bwing part of the snowflake generation, it would be better if they removed the restraints then you would get more air time, and if you do fall out the ride then you can have a wet paper towel, simple

    A totally different ride from the sanitised nonsense it became. Ruined by the lap bars. Glad I rode these things back in the day. As a kid I thought I had died and gone to heaven when I went there

    Superb, and now spoilt because H+S decide that after over half a century of trouble free riding, we now need thigh breaking restraints because it's suddenly dangerous!!

      When did they start making it have to run with restraints? Roller Coaster/Nickelodeon Streak ran with no restraints until 2006

    No lap bars, no seat belts. Just a grab rail and your feet placed firmly on the carriage floor. And see? No-one fell out! Oh, how we used to live before H&S ran amok. Surprised riders aren't forced into bubble wrap suits as well these days. Jeez!
