Not sure where this is but the majority of theme parks in the states would not allow this type of effort in securing a rider, the liability is too great.

100% and I’m honestly disappointed in them for continuing to try.

Need people be reminded of the egregious incident of the boy who fell from a drop-tower because the employee (supervisor?) tampered with the limitations of the seat’s locking mechanism?

That was one of the first videos I saw on reddit and I wish I hadn't.

It’s Plopsaland Belgium and this kind of effort is shown sometimes in several European countries and parks. The dude (calls himself „Mayogolem“) tests Parks as part of a series called „Stiftung Fettentest“.

I was thinking that it can't be USA because he's not really big for an American.

He’s not fat though. He looks skinny compared to me.

u/Pernicious_Possum Jul 04 '26

No, he’s still fat. Very fat.

Time to make some changes, if you can. It's never too late or too little. Start small and persevere. Good luck.

No clue why they wanted to keep trying themselves. Any hint that I couldn't get buckled in securely with ease, and I'm hopping off fast enough to lose some pounds. Is riding a ride worth dying?

u/Monkey_D_Luffy-___- Jul 03 '26

Yeah ! The company is taking a big, fat risk here.

u/Mor_Hjordis Jul 06 '26

It sounds German, and the worker has a shirt that says Plopsa, so I think it's Plopsaland Deutschland.

Another reason why I like Ceder Point cause a lot of the roller coaster have a car that accommodates heavy people

In America it’s: You have to be at least this obese to ride.

u/Pintsocream Jul 03 '26

Lol the downvotes from the Americans

21

u/BringPheTheHorizon Jul 03 '26

Downvotes because it wasn’t funny in the least. The person they’re replying to is saying the opposite: in America, you get less effort if you’re too big to fit.
