Maverick Restraint Discomfort

[cjt121099]

I used to love maverick until I started getting bruises on my legs from the restraints, they are too hard. The ones on I305 are much softer. Does anyone else feel my pain

[Wingless92]

On the leg part? No. Overall? Yes. The shoulder restraints need to be converted to I305's.

Lol...I just rode Maverick for the first time yesterday. I made the mistake of moving my legs in the middle of the ride cycle and it caused the restraint to further staple my legs to the point where I couldn't move them without moderate discomfort... Between Maverick, Magnum, and Gatekeeper with the constantly tightening vest restraint, I had a slightly uncomfortable day...but the park still held up its expectations with some of the best coasters during my first visit to Cedar Point!

I never feel any pain on Maverick, I anticipate the turns.

[milesharrison]

It wasn't so much the turns...I think my legs are just too long and the "lapbar" part of the restraint hits me the wrong way...

I've been in straight jackets (in padded rooms) that were more comfortable than Maverick's restraints!

I've also ridden in Jeep Wranglers, going up the sides of rocky hills, that bounced my head around a lot less than that ride does!

Why were you in straight jackets in padded rooms?

Maverick's restraints really kill the ride for me. Call me crazy, but I don't want to have to be able to anticipate the turns and brace myself accordingly to have an enjoyable ride experience.

First time (only time) I rode Maverick, I was so excited that I was able to get the restraint locked easily, and then....the attendant used their foot and pushed the restraint down.....that was fun....haven't ridden it since.

i honestly have never felt any pain on the maverick.

[PKIVortex]

I am sore the next day and have bruises on my arms if I put my hands up on Maverick but if I hold on i'm fine!

Well, my jacket was not crumpled at all when I was in one of those "whopper hoppers" - but I don't think that is what you want to know.

Suffice to say - Zoloft to the rescue! It's a Prozac nation, isn't it?

I've never really had discomfort from the restraints on Maverick, although I ended up with a bruise on my neck after the first few rides from now watching the direction of the track and having my neck hit the OTSRs. Although it did make me look like I had 2 massive hickeys! Lol

[The Interpreter]

"Honestly, dear, I got those on a rolley coaster!"

Guys, the only part that we feel pain on Maverick is the from the seat in the area below the scrotum.....at least for me.

I rode Maverick for the first time a couple days ago. I love the style seating. But at the end of the ride my ears felt like they were bleeding. But you have to admit it's a pretty sweet ride.

I do not find Maverick's restraints uncomfortable in the least.

As for head-banging, there's a simple solution to that: lean into the turn. I lean into the turn when I ride and usually don't bang my head even once.
