Bounce - Oakwood

[nemesis_guy]

Does anybody know/have any theories why The Bounce at Oakwood park in Wales has been retrofitted with seat belts (not belts attached to the OTSRs but across the lap like a car) ?

Strange for them to fitted after many years of operation.

For a safety precaution.

Because you touch yourself at night.

How long has it had them? It's not a knee jerk to NTG is it?

Had them a while before NTG Furie. Just seems strange to add them after so many years of operation. Do any other Huss shot n drop towers have these lap belts if anybody knows?

There aren't many of them about are there? I quite like Bounce, but hate it not having a secondary restraint system. So I'll actually enjoy the ride a lot more now

As to why it's been done? Maybe Oakwood's insurance asked them to fit something? It could be that they've been inspected and recommended it. After the Hydro incident, I suspect their insurance is a little tighter than most?
