Skier Falls off Chair 2?

[6IX]

I still hate chairs with no safety bar.

My 7-year-old went from always asking about people possibly falling off to now getting annoyed (or pretending to) when I immediately put it down. As a dad with some fear of heights, I get more nervous about that miniscule chance of fall then her tumbling on a Snow Summit blue.

I don't know why I've always been embarrased when I ask the my chair-mates if I can pull the bar down. I'm not 7, I'm a grown woman, and darn it, I get scared when the wind blows!! I am officially done with caring what people think - Bar Down!!!!!

Please continue to ask. Asking with a tinge of embarrassment is better than bonking your neighbors in the head. I never used the bars, but I will if the others want to. Just give a little notice.

That's one of my pet peeves is when people don't tell you they're going to put the bar down and I get hit in the head!! Glad I wear a helmet just for that purpose! A couple of weeks ago on Chair 10, wind was so crazy and chair was blowing a bit sideways, we made sure that bar was down!

I thought you just wanted to rest your feet Yeah it was a little dicey!

I would never pull the bar down without asking, and am amazed that there are people out there that would.

I more often than not put the bar down (after asking) as I find it saves my legs throughout the day.

That's usually towards the end of the day.

I have a certain forum friend that ridiculed me when I ask to pull the safety bar down. Because of that I stopped.
Maybe I should start back to using the safety bar, again? He knows I have a bit of fear of heights...
hmmm....

[SkierBob]

Anyone that takes advantage of the additional safety putting the bar down offers, doesn't look as stupid as those that didn't when they fall out.

I hate the foot rest things, but I have no problem with the safety bar.

I like the foot rests. A board hanging from one foot starts to pain the old knee after a few rides up slow chairs like 8, 12 and J4. The only problem is they make the foot rests for people about 6 inches shorter than me.

And I've been smacked in the back of my helmet from the bar coming down more times than I can count. How about getting pinched between the legs from the foot rest bars??? That SUX...

As is most everything.......

That what happens when you spread out.....

i can take or leave the safety bars most of the time, if they want it down cool, if not no big deal...i certainly am not the one who requests the bar to come down but i hear ya on asking the rest of the people on the chair if its cool to lower the bar....i too have been hit in the head without a warning and also practically been castrated a few times....
