It does jerk you around, and you have to know that. If you don't want to be jerked around...don't ride it.

And riding them is the risk you take. Usually when someone gets hurt there is more to the story that no one knows about.

I'm kinda tall and the safety bar beat the crap out of my upper legs so bad i thought i had fractures, the bruising was probably the worst i ever had, it looked like someone hit me with a baseball bat.

I never was a huge fan of the Son of Beast because of how jerky it is.

Shouldn't there be a safety dept for amusement rides and in other areas of safety which is needed such as public swimming, parks with play equipment, etc?
