Stardust Racers Accident

[LPCaptainDeath]

Thanks. I was just wondering if anyone else had sort of figured that out. Hadn't even caught the 'thrown forward' statement, so I'd have the same question about that. I want to be clear I'm not claiming that the intent is malicious or to mislead the public, just that as someone who has ridden this a significant amount of times, the ways he described the experience seemed to range from unlikely to impossible. I wonder if the logic used is that the restraint style being at the waist leads riders to be more likely to get thrown forward and then rubber band backwards, smacking their head on the headrest?

There are bars on the front of each car (highlighted green). I think it is either misquoted//misspoken about positioning on the train itself, but not on the positioning in the car as being "the front."

There are explanations out there. Check the video mentioned previously in this thread by FireMedic Adventures 17 on youtube.
He was an EMT and explains the logistics of it while still being genuinely sincere about it. It helped me understand it better.

While being contained within the restraint, those handrails are different to reach. It’s especially difficult if you have a larger torso and the restraint sits up higher on you. At that point, your range of motion is limited.

Could someone really lean all the way over and make contact with the handrail on accident?

If it turns out that the engineer who designed the ride didn’t account for that, I think that would be concerning information. I would really hope it’s not possible, even if something abnormal happened during the ride.
