When you go on sitdown coaster, what do you hold on to?

I for one hold onto the lapbar, because its alot more comfortable for my little arms!

Don't answer by saying that you don't hold on at all. Seriously

I hold nothing.

It depends...but this is going to be really interesting for you on Diamondback!

Terpy, who knows these things

^^Beaver, seriously!

^This will be interesting, because you must hold on to the lapbar!

Not necessarily....but most do. In any event, Diamondback's lapbar will hold on to you.

...but most will...

With this post I put myself into the Top 80 members in total posts! Sorry, pkiboy.

If its a rough woodie I will hold onto the metal bar in front of me as a way of keeping my back off of the backrest (thus avoiding any back pain) but otherwise I dont really hold on. If its an airtime machine (hyper, out and back woodie, etc) or a flyer my hands are up, if its a looper, Ill just place my hands on my legs.

Go to the "Top Overall Posters" link at the bottom of the forums page.

EDIT: Wow, I'm slow!

the only KI ride that i hold onto something is Vortex. that is for support to keep my head from getting slammed side to side in the restraints.

If I can't put my arms up, I hold on to the lapbar more times than not.

I know several people who didn't hold on and instead rode with arms raised high in the air on Raven at Holiday World...who got off said ride with very sore ribs...which only got worse...and when they went to the doctor each found they then had broken ribs!

I hold onto the Lap Bar becuase it feels better than holding your hands forward.

OK people, the question here is not "Do you hold on to something?". The question is "When you first put your hands on the lapbar or handle, which one feels more natural?"

PS: Thats not the Ravens fault!

Uh, that is NOT what the poll asked...nor was it the question you answered first....

For one, I hold the lapbar because it feels more natural!

I was simply specifying what this topic was about. If I wanted to know how many put thier hands up, I would of put it into the poll!

Well, as some have pointed out, when you ask a question about what do you hold on to...nothing should be an option...as many DO hold on to no thing.

If no thing is to hold, how do you hold it?

That is true. i usually post things but no one ever reads them for the lack of excitement in my life means lack of good stories. plus i am usually the last one to post something no one never posts back i think thats funny my self

Well, I will post back pkiruler!

I hold onto my kids; as a dad I don't want anything happening to them. But now the kids that's another story, they have to put their hands and arms up in the air and laugh! God forbid when they reach 48 inches and higher and want to do the really big rides, Peanut already is planing on riding Diamond Back

Yeah, I have to do that to FOFreak Jr. on Racer. But thats not the real question. If you were to for some reason hold on, would you grab the lapbar or the handle?

never, ever hold onto anything!!!!! learning to let go will bring great joy to your life and less pain on SOB.

We rode Raven with our arms up several times with our arms up and walked away without a scratch or any pain whatsoever. On The Legend, however, my keys were between my leg and the seat divider. I thought, "That's going to leave a mark." I was right....

The only really rough part is the turn back into the station. The tunnels are very hard on the ears though, even worse than Beast's second tunnel in some.

I tend to grab the lap bar sometimes when on Beast and FOF. No clue why.

Other than that, I ride all with hands up, yes even TTD, Skyscraper, and all free fall towers.

We do not hold on when riding roller coasters!!! As I have said on here before, my kids never touched the restraints on MF on their very first ride. As for me, the boys made fun of me when I put my hands down to steady myself on The Voyage.... But on drop rides, I hold on....

i have been on a coaster with those type of restraints(on Diamondback), and i find that it feels nice to just put your hands in the air. thats all.

Don't answer by saying that you don't hold on at all. Seriously

I am Serious. I hold onto nothing. Holding on and closing your eyes are for whimps.
