Space Mountain Dangerous?

[Siege898]

I rode Space Mountain twice yesterday, and noticed that when I put my hands up in the "launch" tube and in the "landing" tube, I was easily able to touch to the top of the tubes. The "landing" tube is much smaller, and much easier to hit. Why are these so small and has Disney ever had problems with these becuase of their size?

I dont think so. When I saw the title I thought you were talking about the track. I dont think SM has had a problem with someone of the "low" celings.

I've never heard of a problem with the tunnels..

Of course, there's the people who were decapitated during the ride :lookaroun

I was there yesterday as well and noticed the same issue it hurts when your fingers hit the tube....im going to keep my hands down from know on....

 

[LudwigVonDrake]

I fixed my spelling mistake....the people were DECAPITATED not DECAPACITATED (which is not even a word....) :lookaroun

I think that's what makes SM so scary to me. I'm constantly scrunching down in my seat for fear of being decapitated.:lookaroun

 

[brertigger]

It is even scarier when you ride with the lights on. You realize just how close the beams are.

It was funny, one time a friend asked me if I thought it was a good idea to put your hands up on the ride. I said no, you could touch the ceiling in a few spots. I had just finished telling them I really wish they could see just how low some spots are when the ride breaks down and the lights come on. Not long after, we rode with the lights on. Talk about amazing timing!

I Know All To Well Lol Last Year After The Little Drop In The Middle Of The Ride When We Went Down The Drop I Smacked My Fingers On One Of The Track Sapports At Least I Think It Was A Sopport In Any Case I Hit It On Something And It Like Really Hurt Lol My Fingers Where Like Numb I Was Just Happy That The Ride Isn't That Fast Lol I Don't Put My Hands Up On Anthing Anymore I Learned My Lesson

I'm always afraid I'm going to hit my head or my arms if they're raised, which of course I know is stupid because why would Disney make a ride where I could lose body parts with such a simple movement. Yet I still think of it whenever I go on SM. What's even sadder is that out of everyone, I'm sure I'm in the least danger of this happening considering I'm only 5' tall! :lookaroun and yes, I'm an adult; this is as tall as she gets :lol:

Just Kidding, Dont Take It Personal You Know What I Mean.

People just get decapitated left and right on that ride, I heard when the lights come on a night it's just horrifying.

"i got better. . . "

So that means someone had, "turned you into a newt?"

:lol:

:lol:

. . . right after they cut me head clean off! :lol:

And as for the post from The Carismine, when you type your post in all caps, the forum automatically converts it so that only the first letter of each word is capitalized. Teenchy, that's why the post looks like it does. :wave:

When I put my hands up and touched the top of the tunnel it shocked me... bad tunnel.

..So naturally I did it again at the end of the ride.

 

[metscool]

What you don't follow the rules. Did you know they watch everything? Right. They probly have your picture of what you look like everywhere in the place. Saying "Don't let this person ride this ride"

Wrong... Bad guest... the kind of guest who doesn't read the warning signs... and if something happens that same guest would then accuse the Company of neglect... :lookaroun

Space Mountain is about as risky as getting your winkle caught in your zipper
