Impending Pirates lap bars?

[Sped2424]

I understand why the boy popped up. We are all conditioned to pop up when the ride is over. He is only 5, so a good understanding of over vs almost over a hard concept to grasp when the ride stopped. Being near the end he likely thought it was time to exit and popped. I was an overly cautious parent but not clairvoyant, think that could happen to any child/parent, the timing of the stopping and resuming sure worked against this poor kid.

So sad.

It is indeed. Hopefully he is okay is there an update on the situation?

If they did, it'd be an extreme overreaction in my book. If the outcome was more serious and/or repeated incidents happen, they would definitely think twice. Lap bar or not, it would have no difference on the actual ride experience for me.
