Guest rcfreak339 Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 Looking at the POV it looks like there are brake fins on the launch track...I still highly doubt the ride did not have anti-rollbacks. Quote
The Interpreter Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 State investigating cause, including whether ride had anti-rollbacks: http://articles.latimes.com/2010/oct/08/news/la-trb-knotts-pony-express-accident-20111008 Quote
KIfan1980 Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Quotes from the article Terpy linked: "An automated restraint system presses against the rider’s lower back, providing little support for the shoulders and neck." I guess I'm not sure why a ride that, when operating normally, "reaches a height of 44 feet and a speed of 38 miles per hour" would need support for shoulders and neck. Quote
