My first guess is that no one wanted to insult/offend an amputee that wanted to ride.

Everyone, at least most of us, want to accommodate and encourage those with handicaps.

He was an adult; he wanted to ride; and not being much on physics knowledge I would not have guessed that mostly missing legs would have made him fly out of a shoulder harness.

There was NO shoulder harness. Plus amputees were given a list of do’s and don’ts before leaving the hospital and high speed roller coasters were on the don’t list.

I'm sorry he was terribly wounded in service.

However,he showed very poor judgment getting on such a ride;and the family member assisting him showed equally poor judgment.

Personally,I believe riders should be strapped in like a 4-point racing harness.

But then again, personally,I don't do roller coasters.
