[Reaper16]

One time, at Worlds of Fun, I was riding the Detonator (for out of towners - its one of those rides that briskly elevates everyone up a tower; sort of a reverse Tower of Terror). I couldn't get my harness to click. I knew I wasn't secure, and I was trying to get an employee's attention. Normally they check with every single rider, but for some reason the guy didn't check my section of the octagon (or whatever hexagonal shape the Detonator is); four of us weren't confirmed to be safely secured.

So the ride took off and I held down my harness with all of my strength. I wasn't secure. Thank goodness for g-forces, I guess, for helping keep me in my seat instead of flying off to certain death.
