plz be honest. on average how far do u keep the

lapbar away from you on rollercoasters, specifically with lapbars. I usually keep it 6-7

inches away. I <3 AIRTIME!!.

It's hard to say, my trick is to slide up twards the

edge of the seat and stay strong that way when the ride op pushes 'em down

it's actuly a few inches from me when I slide back down. When I rode Top

Thrill Drasgter I had to make it loose cuase were the lapbar was to go is where my

jaket front pocket held my cammara and cell phone. But it depends on the coaster

i'm riding if its a B&M I like it 2-3 inches, Vekom - TIGHT you might fall

out on those turns. Intamin between 3-5

inches. Morgan - 4-5 inches cuase their famous for airtime. So it all depends on the

coaster.

Didn't the accident on Raven teach you

guys anything?!

Man.....7 inches?! Not only is that retarded its

also unsafe....

Personally I only keep it about an inch or two above my

knees.....

Thats enough to keep me satisfyed....

Plus the ride

ops at your parks must be retarded too....

ok i just went to SFMM today just for goliath, X and

Scream!. I was going to get a ride on Vu but i didnt.

anyways i

measured, yes i brought a ruler, and i was ~4.5 inches away from the lapbar

The lapbars are always pushed down when I keep it a

few inches up. You can get away with anything on Cheetah at Wild Adventures, but

the g's always push it down.

It depends on the coaster.
On Millenium Force

and S:ROS I keep it 2-3 Inches away using the slouch technique.
On Nitro 4+

the clamshell restraints hold me in nicely and i need the space to get good airtime.
On anything with OTSR I make it as tight as possible ever since i had a bad

experience on Nor' Easter.
Most woodies it goes all the way down and

leaves a good amount of space for airtime.

And RCTyrant the ride ops are

stupid at any SFI park. But you can pull the slouch technique at any park and the

wouldnt even notice.
