They had plenty of safety gear: every one got a 36" bungee cord with a hook on each end, one to hook to your seat frame, and the other hook to latch onto a belt loop or something. Easy deal... 😬🫡 Thanks, glad you liked the video! Everyone has a seat belt, and they (the aircrew) fasten it and unfasten it. It may look a little nerve wracking, but you don't really need the seat belt; centripetal force holds you in on the turns. You'd have to work at it to come out of that thing. It was a very dynamic ride and a beautiful day to boot!! 😎 Edited August 5 by Major Lee Clarity 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
