It's hard to make a ride that fits both skinny kids and large adults. It's tricky because kids are usually let on if they're at least x inches tall, but that doesn't factor in if they're so skinny that they'll be at risk of slipping out. As a kid, I had several experiences where I think I could have fallen out of a ride if I hadn't actively pushed down on the bar and pinned my legs in a wide stance. Now that my daughter is getting to be the height where she can ride upside-down rides, I'm going to caution her that she needs to be aware that being tall enough isn't always enough, and to be cognizant of whether the bar comes down securely across her (very skinny) body.

- josephcsible 4y ago> It's hard to make a ride that fits both skinny kids and large adults. Accepting this as true (which seems reasonable), the outcome here seems like the right one. After all, society shouldn't cater to people who make poor lifestyle choices at the expense of people who make good lifestyle choices.
