Why does VelociCoaster have a lap bar?

Instead, the ride features a lap bar similar to the Mummy or Hagrid's. You feel less secure in them, but it allows for lots of extra movement for your hands and makes your body feel like it's coming up out of the seat as you round tight curves or sail over hills.

It is a matter of size, not weight. If a person is too large to fit into the restraints, then they cannot ride. It depends on how a person is built. For example, a guy with a large chest may not be able to ride, but someone else that weighs more than him might.

Yeah, “lap bar” for me evokes Big Thunder, with a thin metal bar across that really doesn't do much. The lap bar' on VC secures you tight on three sides of your legs / waist with the seat itself securing the fourth side. There is no way you are going anywhere. It's as secure if not moreso than any shoulder harness.

Riders may experience weightlessness at the tops of hills (negative g-forces) and feel heavy at the bottoms of hills (positive g-forces). This feeling is caused by the change in direction of the roller coaster. At the top of a roller coaster, the car goes from moving upward to flat to moving downward.
