Didn't a coaster valley in Disneyland as well once, the outside looping one, if memory serves me right someone's backpack flew out of the train and landed on the track below causing the ride to valley.

I'm not familiar with that one. They did have another incident where they were using less expensive rope to tie down the Columbia and it pulled a cleat out of the dock striking and killing a guest.
I didn't really scare me, but I did feel a tad awkward about and made me appreciate there also is the seatbelt as a backup.
Yes, that was on California Screamin.
From what I'm aware nobody was injured during the incident.
Reading about the safety features on B&M, it's harder to open the reatraints than it is to close them. That's why any time you see people being evacuated the evacuation team have a something that looks like a car battery to unlock the reatraints.
That's about as bad as it gets.

The way the ratchet system works on a B&M you can sometimes lose a click. So your bar would raise up the space of a click but it's fine. I've had it happen on Nemesis before. I can't quite remember how it happens, but if it was fully down on the click it might slip. I'm not sure but it's not uncommon on B&Ms 
Is this the one where the rider was in front and the engine shell some how flipped back on him? I thought that happened further back then 2003. Disney has proved themselves very good at bludgeoning, crushing, and terrifying both employees and guests to death.
Pretty sure that is what it was, I immediately reacted, but I am pretty sure it was just that one click.The way the ratchet system works on a B&M you can sometimes lose a click.

I think they use compressed gas in the mechanism as well. Also heard there are clicks you don't hear, three of them I think, so you always are more locked in than you think. I know that with Mako they have a little red line on the restraint's bottom that has to show, otherwise it is not clicked in enough.
Hmm... I guess this was the same one. I just read the Wiki page on it and it was found to be due to seriously poor maintenance. Doesn't that make you feel all rosy inside?

Yep same one. Funny thing it seemed more recent to me. I would have guessed 2005-2006.
I believe Marni might have been trying to tell us something but not sure. Very specific about Thursday.
Yeah, sounded like a hint.....Maybe they had some TM's riding or soon will be..

That was the old coaster and not the new. They inserted a bunch of old footage into that broadcast.
