ABSTRACT:
To enable a passenger to ride a "roller coaster" in a standing position, the inventive device includes a seat placed between the legs of the passenger, a back member with a headrest incorporated in it, and two harnesses which provide retention of the passenger from above as well as lateral retention of his head and good front and lateral retention of his body. One of the harnesses is movable and can be swung upwardly to enable easy access to the subject device by the passenger and to enable a ventral bar to be brought into tight contact with the passenger's abdomen before being locked shut in that position. Because the sliding carriage which bears the two harnesses, the back member and the seat are displaceable and lockable along the columns which have their base fixed to the chassis of the train, the present invention can accommodate passengers of different heights and sizes and reliably retain such passengers regardless of their orientation in space during the operation of the associated roller coaster.
