Not sure where this thread should be, but, it's an interesting video

[Disney Frenhines]

The uploader of this video is a ride operator so he knows what he's talking about.

Unfortunately a lot of people don't seem to realise the damage a flying object can be. I used to be a ride operator myself, and I was always horrified at how many parents would try to get their child on a ride they were too short to ride. They would never listen to my warnings and they would yell and scream at me and then blame me when their child started crying because of their parents yelling. Somehow they wouldn't believe me when I said that the ride restraints weren't built to protect someone that weren't tall enough to ride and that it could lead to serious injury or even worse, death. I think people tend to forget that at the end of the day a ride is a big machine that doesn't care about the people on it, so you have to respect it. The rules are there for your own safety, that's all there is to it. I've seen enough stories of people getting killed or severely injured because they were careless.

Absolutely this! I was a ride operator (not at Disney) as well and saw some horrendous injuries and one death due to not following safety rules. Please understand ...no one wants to limit your fun, but if your child has the possibility of injury or worse, why are you fighting me? Really. That's the reason.

I always worry on Space Mountain that something is going fall into our path in the dark and slam me in the head.

The video was informative but it was click bait. I was hoping to see some carnage...
