Enough Clearance?

[hyyyper]

put a tunnel around it and see if the pole goes trough the tunnel. If it does, you don't have enough clearlance.

Well, thats not true in all cases.

For instance, in this situation - its actually fine. The way you are loaded into a Arrow train, theres virtually no way to extend your arm outside the boundary. Your arms are kept inside the vehicle at all times.

Check out some onrides or photos (cant find any, but I know Ive seen them before) where the supports are quite close to the trains.

Yeah, it's extremely hard to actually reach out of an arrow train.

I think you can get your hand to about the height of your head, but Im pretty sure unless you dislocate your shoulder and elbow and stretch it in some God aweful way, it wont work.



If you look at where your elbows are, they are locked inside the train.

Real has a point. If you have ever ridden an arrow before, its actually impossible to reach your arm out and grab anything. I've heard thats the same with Euros. Not quite sure though.

yeah, if you notice the black guys hands in the photo, not racist just noticeable , are on the restraints and if he were to take his hands off and put them straight up, they would only be at about his head. plus riding corkscrew, ive noticed it first hand. so im sure that would actually clear.

I didnt feel like making another thread, so ill just post in this one for the same issue. Can you extend your hands horizontally out of a flying coaster?

Sure can. I think I just lost my arm at the elbow looking at that.

You can, so... ouch.
