Arrow put OTSRs on every single non-hypercoaster they have ever made. I guess they just didn't want you going against the laws of centrifugal force and falling out the side when it banks 90 degreed while going fast. i really don't know. i don't really think most arrow tracks would be that good with or without OTSRs. Conclusion: just so people would feel safer, and more people would go on the ride. just a guess.

I think that it's there incase that there was a small failiure in the swinging mechanism, and it didn't swing as much as it is suppost to.

Arrow probably is just too lazy to even design another type of restraint[:p]
