You can ask to get off any time before the ride starts. She didn't.
As many regulations as they have, they don't have the one they need which is the one that says "you are too fat for this ride".
It's downright comical that airlines can charge the obese more or even keep them from a plane. Ambulances need to be redesigned to accommodate the morbidly obese, but a ride that goes upside down at 100 miles an hour is perfectly safe for fat asses because it would hurt their feelings to be told no.
This is just insanity.

Texas has hundreds of pages of regulations for places like Six Flags.
Come to think of it, so do the feds.
What was your point again?
he is just a lying troll
how many threads does he create like this and then never comes back to them...he is good at baiting people with his lies.

Ahhh, yes, he is nothing if not a master baiter!
If she thought she wasn't locked in she should have gotten off.
She couldn't get off, because the ride manager had already locked her in. What she DID do was ask them to click it another time, as she thought that it may have been unsafe, only problem is, the ride manager said that one click was all that was required.
Me? I've been on a few rollercoasters, and some of them were pretty intense. Loch Ness Monster up in Williamsburg with their double loop to loop was one of them, and even after the ride manager clicked me in, I would see if I could pull at least one or two more clicks after that.
Why? I didn't want to fall out.
Maybe there needs to be better training (as well as better safety standards) for the roller coasters of today, because they're faster and do a lot more aerial acrobatics than what they did just 30 years ago.
As painful as it is, grossly and morbidly obese people should be prohibited from these rides. Every time there is an accident like this and someone is ejected they are hugely fat. The woman in this incident looks in the 350 to 400 pound range. Yes it is discrimination. It's necessary discrimination. Many rides have a height requirement. If you are not as tall as this sign you may not ride. They need another saying if you are wider than this board you may not ride.
The latches on the lap bars cannot descend far enough to latch and tonnage under stress pressing on the lap bar causes it to fail.

Safety of the passengers is their primary job

The ride operator should not have let her ride if her size was preventing the safety mechanisms from working.

That is illegal. It is discrimination. Think about it. There are no discounts given to fat people even though they might not be able to ride some of the rides in a given park, but they still have to pay the same as a thin person able to get on every ride. Small children DO get a discount because it is understood that they can't ride every ride.
It is not up to the ride operator, who is usually a kid, to make these kinds of judgment calls. There has to be an objective standard. Especially since the fatties themselves can't make that decision.

Nonsense. It is legal discrimination when there is a good reason for it. Do you think it is illegal discrimination to prohibit children from buying alcohol or firearms or driving a car? Where did you get the idea that children get a discount because they can't ride every ride?

We need new massive regulations to ride a roller coaster but we can walk unhampered into a voting booth, amiright?

You couldn't be further from the truth
Allowing a passenger to go on a ride that is a danger to them is illegal.
