Disneylands boats are more narrow and a different style, mounting lap bars in it might not be possible or even practical

 

[SteveDude]

Been quite some time since I've been on the ride. Never thought it needed the lap bars but I know there's been problems with guests trying to escape the boats for whatever reason. Makes sense.

Was that around the time some fool tried to get out of the boat when they stopped and ended up getting squashed between two of them when they started up again?

I'm kind of disappointed he didn't post the exact date and time they opened the ride with the lap bars.
