X flight was such an amazing and unique ride experience. that said, i'm a very small, healthy adult, and laying supine with the restraints firmly fastened before it started made *me* feel kinda tight and claustrophobic. (but in a kinky, good way, if ya know what i mean). i can see how it could trigger physical stress for someone with cardiac issues, though, especially if they are larger or have a respiratory condition as well. i mean, i can't tell you how many times i saw some BIG people trying to suck it in and make that harness fit. it always became one of those awkward situations where you look over, realize what's going on, and then turn away, cuz you feel bad and you're embarassed for them as well. and then for the occasional suck-it-in where you'd hear the congratulatory *click!* and they got to ride, i mean, come on... there's gotta be some internal organ displacement going on for that to happen. |
