I am with the amusement park on this one.

I don't know that I am against the park...but I would think that for multiple reasons, the safety devices on their rides should not rely on any added help or input from the user.....
 
I agree with big mac, no win. I don't think they should have prevented him from the ride, but if he got hurt, guess who is still getting sued.
 
July of 2011, an Iraq war vet who lost his legs in the war flew off a coaster and perished. Was Six Flaggs reacting to that do you think?
 
I haven't been involved with fixed rides but I have dealt with many portable rides and they have several common traits. The manufacturer provides operation instructions that shall be adhered to. Many ride instructions require that a rider have, at a minimum, three limbs capable of providing restraint.

It's ridiculous to think that a guy with no legs needs to be told to stay off a roller coaster. It is even worse to think that he was allowed on the roller coaster.
