The issue is large people should not be on these rides but force the operator to let them on . Im surprised the operator didnt get a signal on his controller that the lap bar was not fully activated

[@burnagirl123]

now how did you come to that conclusion when this story is about a malfunction and the ride operator not checking the safety bars

[@KennyakaTI]

Do we know if that was the case in this situation?

[@sig9girl]

The employee didn’t check? How about you using your own common sense before it starts moving!! I’d call the employee over!
