Mission: Space - Heart Rate Monitor Built Into Ride?

[halltd]

I was reading through the public Facebook posts about the Sky Tower at Sea World getting stuck and ran across the following one where someone said they shut down Mission: Space because the built-in heart rate monitor on the joystick of the ride detected an abnormally high heart rate from himself. I had never heard about this before (and am skeptical it exists), so I searched around to find nothing. Of course, my next option was to post here!

What says the forum? Real or BS?

I thought about blurring out the guy's name, but he works for a TV station and posted it publicly, so I figured it wasn't necessary.

How do people come up with this stuff?

Yeah, right. While running on the treadmill at my gym, my heart rate in peak zone usually exceeds 155. No one has ever wandered over to the treadmill I'm on and tells me to stop. And I think a heart rate from running 5 mph for 20 minutes is more if an issue than someone nervous about the ride. Total and utter horse hockey. There are no HR monitors in those joy sticks. If his story is factual, more likely a CM noticed on a monitor how nervous/scared he looked. They have 2 levels for a reason.... I've never had a problem with Orange. And I suffer from occasional migraines.

Noticed the picture in his FB post is for a ride in another park. If you're going to do a Brian Williams, at least use a picture from the correct park. Sheesh.

Not even that. There's no way to monitor the guests on the ride. The only way a CM will come to check on you is if they hear you screaming or pounding on the capsule doors prior to starting the ride.

Sounds like something someone would make up to calm someone who is getting too nervous down. "Don't worry honey if it get's dangerous and your heart rate spikes they'll see it on their computers and shut it down".

That's funny.

There's no CCTV in the capsule, let alone a pulse monitor.

Not for a second. There are, however, two deaths associated with this ride. They died after riding, not while on the attraction. I found this out before riding the first time in 2007. The stern warnings by Gary Sinise didn't help matters, and I think I had a mild anxiety attack while riding, lol.

There is no heart rate monitor. However, there are cash capacity scanners that gauge the amount of currency in your pockets that affects the pricing on items in the gift shop.

And were pre-existing medical conditions.

you would have to have medically trained personnel to monitor every riders heart rate. The cost would be huge and the liability even greater if you screwed up.

There are deaths associated with a lot of rides. Not just thrill rides either.

I thought thats what the Magic Bands did. In addition to the already known about DNA collection, credit score analysis, fertility checks, and prostate examination.
