lol, i never thought about that, it could be a dangerous thing if it bounces up and hits a rider in the face. I never heard about someone losing a shoe, that usually only happens on inverteds. The shoe probably can't get under the wheels since there's simply no room to get in between them. The shoe would probably just fall on the track or the ground below it.

I imagine it was...although, those wheels are so strong and designed so well, I imagine IF the shoe would hit the wheel it would just bounce off.

well they let you take your shoes off b/f the ride, Yes we all end up w/o shoes on the ride. You just throw them on the side and get them after the ride, now as far as shoes like tennis shoes I dont know I just know if you are willing to take them off (such as sandles etc.)

the shoe should fall in between the beams. its unlikely that it will bounce upwards.
