unpopular opinion: as someone with a lot of ear piercings, I love vest restraints! they might allow for a little less airtime compared to over the shoulder restraints, but the lack of head banging is sooo worth it
Good point, riding an SLC must be very painful 😬
over the shoulder restraints can also be problematic for fursuiters 😅
Saw: the ride at Thorpe park makes this comment age like milk to me.
Honestly. I Love Vest Restrains Just Because Of How Safe They Make Me Feel.
Good point!
I love seeing GCIs with retractable seatbelts like Renegade and Prowler
Same I like feeling safe with it over my chest bc just my lap and free upper body nah im shifting myself enough with the vest with no vest on the chest nope I just refuse so I miss out bc I don’t feel safe :(
On flying coasters they’re ungodly comfortable
@@ZaydenTransBoiii your loss, you are safe
I absolutely LOVE being locked in the B&M vest restraints, and the tighter I'm locked in them the better!
Haven’t ridden a ride with that type of restraint but I’m glad to hear they were comfortable!
@@808CoasterLife Super comfortable, I could spend hours in them, haha!
In my experience all B&M rides where really comfortable.
I think the vests almost ruin the experience for me, it reduces the forces too much for me
@@CoasterManiac2000 I'm very definitely in the minority with my love of being locked in vest restraints, haha!
Vest restrains are the best in my opinion because it makes the ride feel way more secure and is super comfy
Over the shoulder lap bars are clear
The new vekoma vest restraints are amazing. They are very loose so they dont limit the airtime, and they are super comfortable!
Good to know!
The ones on the slc at sfne are amazing. The ride is awesome now instead of painful.
bro that intro 💯🔥
Over the shoulder restraints on most rides automatically make me hate it unfortunately. I'm really, really sensitive to headaches and even light head banging causes a headache that lasts the whole day 😔.
I rode the Jersey Devil for the first time yesterday, which is an RMC raptor with vest restraints. And it was super comfortable!!! So happy about that. The ride was amazing.
The B&M OTSRs are comfortable and they kind of feel like pool noodles instead of hard plastic.
When I was on Skyrush 2 weeks ago I thought for sure it was over. I thought I was flying out atleast 3 times. I love when I get that scared and your double thinking your decision
Yeah Skyrush's restraints are very minimal!
Rollo Coaster has both seat belts and a lap bar as of 2018. A child was thrown from the train in 2016, so these safety changes were made.
That’s unfortunate. Thanks for the insight
I found Mavericks vest restraints very comfortable and I still had plenty of room to get airtime on it and to feel those laterals! Good video!
I'm glad you enjoyed those restraints! Others I've talked to say that they sometimes staple you but I personally have never ridden a coaster with that type of restraint so I wouldn't know 🤷♂️
Their my favorite restraints
my favourite is over the shoulder, they arent too restricting and arent too loose
I love the lap bars on Titan at SFOT. Also vintage Schwarzkopf roller coaster lap bars, those new fangled over the head lap bars, and PTC train lap bars are quite nice too. I f’n love buzz bars because it what makes kiddie rides fun for all ages including coaster enthusiasts.
I recently rode new Mack in Korea, and the over head lap bar restraint and high-leveled seat gave me great freedom for my legs and overbody. Hands up for launch coaster was totally great.
Good to know!
First video I have watched from you. Very good quality. I will definitely be subscribing.
Thank you very much!
I went on the six flags great america Viper, and they had a seatbelt with the buzz bar. I was riding with my mom and my sister, and as you said it dies have alot of airtime... so my sister FLOATED.
I rode a ride with a similar setup and the buzz bars definitely make the airtime feel stronger than it really is
This is so random but… bro, I actually love your intro!!! It’s sick :)
I appreciate that!
I’ve used a lot of restraints.. here’s my rundown
B&M Vests - Snug, yet very comfy. 8/10
B&M OTSR - Bulky, head banging. 3/10
Vekoma/Arrow OTSR - Bulky, head bang. 4/10
Vekoma vest - kills thighs, no head. 5/10
Intamin soft vest - comfy, fine. 6/10
Intamin T-Bar - small, free. 9/10
B&M clamshell - big, free. 8.5/10
Gerstlauer lapbar- free, easy. 7/10
RMC - big, heavy, shins. 6/10
Chance - same as RMC. 6/10
Premier lapbar - big, feet holders. 6/10
Premier vest - same as lapbar. 6/10
Mack+Imtamin over head lapbar… 10/10
I'll probably reference this in the future this is good to know!
Nothing beats Mack's overhead lapbar. I just finished a 63 coaster tour of 8 parks, and so many great rides were frankly spoiled by subpar restraints. If they'd have had Mack overhead lapbars, they would have been amazing.
63 coasters, no Macks, no Joy
@@visionist7 Mack lapbars are top tier
B&M vests definitely aren’t comfy. literally any otsr? Lean forward. Vekoma vests are great, intamin soft “vests” (I don’t really consider them vests but that’s irrelevant) totally agree with you on the intamin t-bars and clamshells. RMC lap bars might seem big, but that doesn’t really matter because it distributes the forces more widely across your legs, which if you’ve ever ridden magnum, you know is a very good thing. Premiere comfort collars aren’t really vests because they aren’t tight on you unless you’re like 6’5”, and overhead lap bars are great (unless you get stapled on a Mack, which can hurt your groin)
@@WCfanboy me liking the B&M vests is definitely my most unpopular opinion but it’s more of a personal thing I guess. I’m not a fan of traditional OTSR because I don’t want to have to lean forward to enjoy a ride, but again that’s an unpopular opinion of mine and I totally get how people enjoy it. My only problem with RMC bars are the shin guards, and yes I’ve ridden magnum.. ouch. And I agree w Mack.. it’s also very common for Mack ots lapbars to tighten more during the ride on some of the older models (Manta and SWSD) and I don’t really have that problem on time traveler though so it must have been improved
Leap the Dips also has no restraints, that 10 ft drop is absolutely terrifying
Now that I’ve been on a B&M Invert like Nemesis that has the classic OTS restraints, those HAVE to be my favourite. I know on some inverts and floorless coasters they may cause headbanging, but since Nemesis is now Nemesis Reborn I didn’t experience any headbanging. Also, it’s not just the restraints, but the seats and the restraints combined make me wish we would replace our sofas with a few of them, and I’m only half joking!
I love Steel Eel’s lap bar and seatbelt combo! It allows for a ton of airtime
Good to know!
The camera Quality!!!
Amazing!
Thank you!
Great video, I believe Montana Suiza the oldest operating steel coaster also has no restraints along with a few of the wooden scenic railway coasters.
Thank you, and thanks for the insight!
In my opinion, the newest Intamin over the shoulder lapbar restraints are the best. They were introduced with Taron. I've ridden 2 coasters with these restraints (Taron in Phantasialand and Kondaa in Walibi Belgium), both of these were incredibly comfortable.
Yeah I heard nothing but great things about those restraints.
are those the ones on SIK?
Your content is awesome man! I live in Hawaii too !
Awesome!
I just like hearing him mention Superman the Ride and Phoenix because those are my favorite rides
They look amazing!
Such a good video! :)
Thank you!
Glad you mentioned the RMC Raptor restraints being painful, these are my least favorite restraints by a mile and I’m pretty at this point I’m famous for hating them 😂
It's unfortunate that those restraints are painful because the layouts look incredible!
@@808CoasterLife the layouts really are so good! I wish I could enjoy the ride :(
Have you ridden the Jersey Devil yet at great adventure?
@@ashleighnichole8197 sadly no, I haven’t gotten out to Great Adventure yet!
@@coastercraziness oh ok, I just got to ride it yesterday and didn't mind the restraints at all. I actually liked them. But it's the first one I've ridden with the RMC vests. So I didn't know if maybe it was a height thing or not, I'm 5'4. The coaster was a ton of fun though! I hope you get on it soon 💜
I love Mavericks and Copperhead Strikes restraints, they’re probably tied for my favorite.
Copperhead Strike’s restraints do look very comfortable!
My fav is clamshell found on B&M Hypers and Gigas. They are so soft when paired with large amounts of airtime like on Diamondback at Kings Island.
After riding Candymonium at Hersheypark, I couldn’t agree more!
@@808CoasterLife i know! especcily on diamondback at kings island, they dont hurt at all with the huge amounts of airtime.
@@superklondoentertainmentsy4061 Diamondback is way better than Orion imo
The Cyclone roller coaster at Lakeside amusement park in Denver Colorado has just a little grip bar and nothing else. When Zambezi Zinger was at Worlds Of Fun in Kansas City Missouri... it didn't have any restraints (Zambezi Zinger was my first adult coaster when i was 7). Zambezi Zinger is now located in Colombia south America but they added seat belts to it when it was moved to Colombia.
Good to know!
Wild Chipmunk at Lakeside Amusement Park in Colorado also has no restraint. It also has no seat. It's literally like riding a roller coaster in a bathtub. You only have little bars outside the car to hold on to.
B&m clam shells are definitely nice too! I don't think I've ridden anything with an over the head lap bar yet.
Hate clamshells. I do not feel safe in them
I like how unsafe you feel on lap bars and clamshells
ik you didnt mention them, but my favorites are the restraints used on X2, they are so comfy and allow for some decent airtime
They may be a little complicated to secure, but I did find X2’s restraints more comfortable than expected
i love the giovanola lapbsrs, they have a bult in handle and also allow for airtime
Nice! I know Giovanola coasters don’t have that much airtime but I’m glad they’re comfortable.
@@808CoasterLife good airtime for me, all airtime counts for me
5:05 If anyone was wondering, the superman restraints were changed from the T-Bars to the other ones because a disabled passenger wasn’t held in the restraint correctly, and died while on the coaster by being flung out of their seat.
Too be honest, I dont mind the comfort coolers on some sky rocket models. They get a wider range of people to want to ride it
I never knew that. Good point!
I know a lot of people have said this already but……I also love vest restraints, I’ve ridden them on Railblazer and Batman (the free spin at sfdk). Railblazer fine, it’s at my HOME home park, so I have the freedom of going almost every other day and I just honestly don’t even care anymore, like maybe it’s because I don’t marathon very often but my shoulders never hurt, I still get more than enough airtime. And as for Batman, I love that feeling, I could fall asleep in them it’s so comfortable, I love getting stapled because I’ll just fly uncomfortably everywhere if I don’t. I’ve only ridden twice the first time I got ample room and just flew all over the place but I stapled my self the next time and it was great. Also i like only school B&M OTSRS, especially on inverts I don’t know why, it just makes me feel nostalgic I don’t really mind any coaster restraints
In my opinion, I love OTSR's connected to a seat belt, because it gives me a bit more room while being more safe, when it's only OTSR's, the bottom of the restraint hurts my thighs.
I never wore vest restraints so my fav for now is lap bars I love those so much
Vekoma's vest restraints feel a little weird so I definitely would prefer lap bars based on my experiences.
@@808CoasterLife nice
@@808CoasterLife and with lap bars I can feel ok but don’t feel that safe but there better than no restraints
Went on hyperia yesterday and its made me fall in love with lapbars
I would assume it’s back up and running?
The el loco restraint is my favourite (it's an otsr with an extra lap bar) a lot of airtime and safety
Those restraints look very interesting they might be hit or miss for me.
I like the B&M restraints they’re usually the most comfy
LOVE B & M clamshells - you can get them good and tight! Airtime is great - as long as you're locked in! Any comments about the RMC lap bars with no place to hold on? Just a bungee cord type thing? Referring to Wildcat's Revenge at Hershey. I am not a hands in the air and wish they had put some grips on the lap bar like B & M's clamshell.
jet star 2 at lagoon kind of blurs the line between no restraint and seatbelt because you have to ride with someone else and they act like a wedge keeping you in
The worst restraints are over the shoulder restraints. All they do is cause pain and make the ride unenjoyable.
Can see where you're coming from. Rough rides with OTSRs don't result in a good experience.
Vest restains are extremely comfy. I'd love for every coaster to have them
Also the Fly coaster in Phantasialand has them, and you get all the air time! But thats mostly because you're dangling face down from the coaster
I like the intamin soft over shoulder like maverick beacuase they make me feel safe and comfortable
I love b&m lapbars
Agreed!
nice video!
Thank you!
i went to alton towers a fhew days ago and my head actually kinda hurted after i got off the smiler cause of the headbanging (also i waited like an hour and 40 mins)
Rollo Coaster did have an accident and it no longer has that restraint. It was an operational error, but it now has PTC Ratcheting Lap Bars and seatbelts.
Yeah I heard about that once this vid was posted. Still, thanks for letting me know!
It doesn't matter what your favorite type of restraint is because the more intense the ride, the more safe the restraint will be whether you like it or not.
Lap bars, over the shoulder lap bars, otsrs and vests are all the same safety. So you would enjoy a ride more if it had your preferred restraint type
@@AirtimeAxolotl :/
My favorite restraint might have to be the one on lochness monster because im kinda small so when it gets pushed up I have like 3-4 inches of room and the airtime in the back is elite I just wish it wasn't as rough
I think the opposite happened for me lol. I rode Viper at Magic Mountain and the restraints rested almost perfectly on my shoulders. Airtime was kinda restricted but I didn’t have to worry about headbanging.
@@808CoasterLife yeah I'm like 5'0 tall so the restraint didn't touch my shoulders the air time might have been better than appolos chariot ngl
I absolutely love LAP BARS
Cons with seatbelts, at least for cheetah hunt is if you're a tight squeeze on that ride, and you don't unbuckle before the restraint releases, it gets stuck lol.
Yeah not all seatbelts are created equal.
I have a restraint! It is found on Disney world and Shanghai Disneyland and it’s tron lightcycle run or power run and it has the back restraint and the leg restraint
Yes they’re very niche restraints. They were pretty comfortable when I rode one similar to Tron but made it a little hard to breathe.
Banchee at King’s Island restraints make you feel so safe. Except they tighten while riding and my hips bleed every time. Word on f advice if you ever ride it, tighten just enough so you are safe, cuz as soon as you make it up the lift hill it’ll tighten for ya.
Good to know!
Idk if I’m right but gold rush at six flags magic mountain has buzz bars and no seatbelt. No wonder I like the ride so much
I'm not really a fan of coasters or other thrilling rides; I like rides that are gentle. But on the topic of the safety restraints rides use, seat belts and standard lap bars are the ones I'm most familiar with
Gentle rides usually don't have overly secure restraints such as OTSRs or vest restraints so that makes sense.
@@808CoasterLife For me, the more gentle a ride is, the better 😉
I dont like over the shoulder they always feel a alot loose on me every time i go on one i have to hold down on myself.
Then I suggest you try not doing that, so you can overcome your fear (the ride train would not be allowed to dispatch if the restraint wasn't fully in place and safe)
For seatbelts I think they should be there as a option but ride operators shouldn't buckle them unless their needed for a fit check because as you said wearing a seatbelt is a really high level of redundancy.
You make a pretty good point!
I can't stand RMC lap bars and shin guards. I always get stapled on Steel Vengeance, then deal with alot of pain on those final airtime hills.
I’ve been meaning to ride Raging Bull at Great America, but my huge fear and anxiety for lap bars is rlly pulling me back from enjoying stuff comfortably :(
I just can’t bring myself to do it cuz I just don’t feel safe at all
Ride Raging Bull when you’re ready, but just remember these lap bars are designed to keep you in your seat. As long as you meet the height requirements and you pull the restraint all the way down, you shouldn’t worry about falling out. Maybe ride Vioer or American Eagle before since those rides also have lap bars. Hope this helps at least a little :)
Restraints that go down each arm and close over your chest make it sooo hard for me to breath I always have to sit next to the operator and tell them my problem and I check to see if it’s too tight for me to breath and if it is they let me off. I love roller coasters and rides but this problem has made me just pass on a lot of the fun. I’m 21 this started around 9 or 10. I feel like I can’t get a full breath of air in and I start panicking especially if I need to get off and I can’t it ruins the ride. It’s awful ): this same feeling happens to me at night especially during intense dreams I feel like I’m suffocating or drowning I’ve woken myself up from screaming. What’s wrong with me?
Nothing, this happens to me with an assortment of things (unable to do something physically is one) and I get violent quickly. My strategy for vests if they’re too tight is to grab the top of them and pull them outward, which helps prevent your chest being crushed
I rode Congo falls at kings island and u have no restraints and it had a pretty big hill it actually felt like I’d fall out. U should look at it
I like over head lap bars the most because
they feel safer than normal lap bars, they still give you airtime, and they look pretty cool
Having not ridden any ride with those over the head lap bars, I do think they look to be the best modern restraint type out there.
808CoasterLife Yeah, I’ve only ridden one but I thought it was very comfortable because normal lap bars sometimes staple you or sometimes go up way too far (for me at least) but that type usually stays in the same spot
I really want to try a Mack rides xtreme spinner
Yh I like those too, and I also the lapbars that curve around your body, like the ones on Mumbo Jumbo at Flamingo Land and Rush at Thorpe Park.
I’m 90% sure abt this so I’m just asking, raptors are single rail coasters and trexs are single rail coasters above a certain height?
Both Raptors and T-rexes are single rail coasters however, Raptors have a smaller track, have 1 across seating, and generally have smaller heights around 100-150 ft. T-rexes have a thicker rail, 2 across seating, and go at least 200 ft high.
Can't forget the Zamperla Volare 😍😍 everyone's favourite restraints
💀
2:01 the lap bars on iron gwazi feel like there crushing your legs
What about accordion restraints? Like on Olympia looping, or great American triples loop at Indiana beach
I would imagine those are similar to OTSRs except with more shoulder pain and less room for airtime. What do you think?
Bro leviathan in Canada wonderland has a lap one. It’s so scary man. You don’t feel safe enough 😂
5:18 Superman got the U Bricks in 2009 the year they first retheme it to Bizarro actually because of the 2004 incident and Massachusetts State Law claims the T Bar restraints is too minimalistic for Superman and we’re forced to box all riders legs in more to prevent that accident again
b&m Vests restraints stinks. Atleast on Yukon striker (and I assume valravn) when it drops it staples you and when you’re waiting in the break run it crushes your waist, idk if this happens on wing coasters and banshee tho. Have ridden a flyer and they were fine however
If you live in Canada go to Canada wonder land the have vest restrains on the Yukon striker Canada wonder land is in vonehan Ontario
I definitely want to go there
Just rode X-Flight today and it aight too bad like yeah they come down but people make it sound like it chokes you to death 🤣
I heard X-Flight is one of the worst when it came to vest restraint stapling so if you thought it wasn't that bad then that's a good sign!
Dunno if I just got unlucky with my vest restraint experience- Batman at discovery kingdom, Wonder Woman at magic mountain and I think west coast racers at magic mountain might count? It might just be my height but every time they dig painfully into my collarbone and it’s just… stupidly uncomfortable. Maybe I just haven’t been on the right one? I dunno. Hope to see a vest restraint someday that accommodates for taller people lol.
I’m a little under 5’10” and some vest restraints were fine while others were digging into my collarbone. They definitely aren’t created equally. Hopefully you do find a vest restraint that fits you comfortably.
Superman The Ride has had U Bricks since at least 2009 not 2016 as mentioned in the video
I think its often not so much about the type of restraint, and they all have their pros and cons, but the right restraint for the right ride. Over the shoulder restraints for example aren't popular on many rides, but you don't hear many complaints about them on B&M inverts or dive coasters. In both cases the dangling sensation of being secured at the top whilst your legs are free is a bit part of the experience. Tame but rough older coasters with ots restraints though can be awful. Basic lap bars often work best.
On the subject of no restraints, although not coasters, log flumes typically lack them too. Since they aren't secured to the track at all they lack any airtime though, and although they do often have some lateral forces, you sit low in them so aren't going to the thrown out unless standing up.
The last coaster I rode on had old school busbars, but that was a 1930s "scenic railway" (no side contact, no upstops, the the wheels on the rails), although especially at the back it definitely gave some airtime on the drops. Basic ratchet system too (with plenty of movement) released by a wheel contacting a wooden rail opposite the platform, which also meant that the restraints release before it stops. The most intense part of the ride though is the second drop as it's steeper than the first, and drops through the structure so you get a great head chopper effect too, and the pullout at the bottom gives quite a bit of force.
I went on a inverting coaster with a lap bar. more freedom than over the shoulder
Inversions are great with lap bars
@@808CoasterLife it was on the Cú Chulainn the largest wooden coaster in europe and the only with inversions. tones off air time and being tossed around
@@teaganscott3928 Wildfire in Kolmarden, Sweden, is a taller wooden coaster and also has inversions
The vests are comfortable, but since I have long hair, it gets pulled by the restraint VERY tightly if it’s not tied back..
Good point! I would imagine that’s not a pleasant experience.
Iron Gwazi has the single best restraints I’ve ever used.
They do allow for great airtime
Gerstlauer eurofighter restraints on rides like Mystery Mine a jerky fast ride hurt like hell
Yeah OSTRs aren’t the best for that type of ride.
Do “Over The Shoulder” restraints have an emergency unlock mechanism anywhere if the ride fails to operate or for some reason the ride operator forgets that you’re there, and so you aren’t trapped on the ride all night?
Yes they do and so do all restraints.
@@808CoasterLife how does that work exactly?
From what I know there is a small latch on the outer part of the train where if the ride gets stuck, the employees can pull to release the restraints and safely escort the riders off the ride.
@@808CoasterLife is it possible for people on the ride to reach it if employees don’t come?
@@Nightshift10000 I’m not sure about that but I’m sure employees won’t take too long to come
I personally find B&M vest restraints to be the best. I've only ever experienced them on one ride (the swarm at thrope park) and it was the most comfortable ride experience I've ever had. It never felt too restrictive (though I am fairly skinny) and I don't feel that airtime suffered at all from it. The mixture of over the shoulder and a lap bar gave much more piece of mind eventhough I know a simple lap bar can be just as safe. Only gripe I have is that the bars feel awkward to hold, would much prefer to hold onto the lap bar.
The one vest restraint I've experienced (Sidewinder at Hersheypark) felt a little restrictive and weird but wasn't too restrictive.
What are the restraints on maverick called
Apparently, from 1933-2006, Rollercoaster (now Nickelodeon Streak) at Blackpool Pleasure Beach had no restraints at all
Didn’t know that!
B&M clamshells are to die for ❤️❤️❤️
Yes they're very comfortable
good video what about x2 restraints heard they hurt
They would technically be OTSRS. I’ve never ridden X2 so idk how they are.
OTS restraints are the only restraints I will let go on me. They are extremely safe.
How is your favorite if u haven’t woar on
I heard from other people that over-the-head lap bar restraints are very comfortable and allow for lots of freedom. To me, the more freedom a restraint provides while still keeping you safe makes a restraint better imo.
Would you get on a coaster that goes upside down with lap bars without shoulder restraints? Kings Dominion has a new twisted timbers ride that is like this and I am hesitant to let my kids ride it.
Your kids should be perfectly fine as long as they meet the height requirement. I've ridden multiple inverting coasters with a lap bar and while they were thrilling, I never felt unsafe. Twisted Timbers's train also has grab handles, shin guards, and probably seatbelts if that makes you feel better.
someone probably already commented this put splash mountain at disney I believe doesnt have any restraints!
Splash Mountain isn't considered a coaster but yes it doesn't have any restraints.
It isn't a coaster, but the Walt Disney World version does have restraints
Skyrush SKYRUSH SHOULD BE ON THIS LIST
Skyrush's restraints are considered over-the-head lap bars
I would like to hear your opinion on gerstaler otsr in my opinion they suck.
They don’t seem too bad, but I know they are put on Gerstlauers with very quick transitions which would result in headbanging. Lap Bars definitely would be better for those.
Yea. I fell like gerstaler otsr are very bulky,and a little tight.
Best: Over Shoulder Lapbars
Worst: Soft OSR/Comfort Collars
I LOVEEE BUZZ BARS. I went on 2 roller coasters that had buzz bars. one that had a seatbelt and one that didnt. Just to let you know it does not make a difference
After riding a buzz bar coaster with a seatbelt, I can agree you can still feel the effects of buzz bars!
Screamin eagle is Sooo good@@808CoasterLife
The log flume at Great Adventure, which isn’t a coaster, is from 1974 and has no restraints.
Most log flumes have little to no restraints so that makes sense
@@808CoasterLife If they built it now, would it have restraints?
@@dougronald561 I’m not sure but if there was, it wouldn’t be any more restrictive than a lap bar.
@@dougronald561 Splash Mountain in the Disney parks is one of the only log flumes that has restraints, most have none.
The wild mouse at wonderland in Texas has no restraints either. Look it up
Interesting!
I just watched the video of Tyre Sampson falling and I’m going to six flags this weekend I’m watching this because I’m getting cold feet and scared 😭
As long as you follow the correct procedures when securing your restraint, you should be fine!
I’m going to guess you don’t weigh over 300 pounds, so you’re going to be fine
Lap bar is king
My favorite restraint is the over the shoulder, because it makes you feel safe and comfortable, and my least favorite is the clamshell restraint. The squishiness makes the restraint feel less safe. I know it’s not, but I have diagnosed anxiety, cut me some slack.
