Surf Coaster Leviathan

The lapbars on Surf Coaster Leviathan are rather unusual.  The restraints are bent at an angle and have blue padding added to the end of the restraint.  In this picture, you can see a black bar runs between the areas where the restraints are bent.  This cross-beam did a nice job keeping my knees secured.  Unfortunately, the top half, as well as the blue padding, ended up being right in front of my ribcage.  It did prevent me from leaning forward, but it was not comfortable when the train was slowed down by the brakes.  I heard several women who were riding in the train complain that this upper part of the restraint caused problems with their chests.  I think riders with large chests, either male or female, will find these harnesses very problematic.
