A seat restraint system includes an over-the-shoulder (OTS) restraint and a lap restraint. The lap restraint includes a lap restraint enclosure defining an interior space and having an opening through the lap restraint enclosure, a track disposed in the interior space, and a movable assembly engaged with the track and configured to move along the track. The movable assembly includes an extension from the interior space, through the opening, and to an external space outside of the lap restraint enclosure. The movable assembly also includes engagement feature coupled to the extension and configured to be coupled to the OTS restraint in an engaged configuration.

A ride vehicle for an amusement park includes a restraint system. The restraint system includes a first conformable component configured to be disposed over a first lower portion of a guest's body. The restraint system further includes a behind-the-knee component configured to be disposed behind a leg of the guest. The restraint system additionally includes a linkage mechanism configured to move the first conformable component, the behind-the-knee component, or a combination thereof, to secure the restraint system to the guest.

A seating device for connection to a movement mechanism includes at least one seat and a fastening flange. The fastening flange has at least one flange clamping receptacle, and the seat has at least two seat clamping receptacles for connection to the fastening flange. At least one clamping device is provided, which extends in the direction of a clamping axis. The flange clamping receptacle is arranged in the direction of the clamping axis between two of the at least two seat clamping receptacles. The clamping device passes through the two seat clamping receptacles arranged on either side of the flange clamping receptacle and clamps them together in the direction of the clamping axis.

Embodiments disclose systems and methods associated with safety devices for vehicles. Specifically, embodiments are directed towards a user operated, manually controlled, inflatable safety device for off-road vehicles, which may reduce, eliminate, or lessen upper body and head injuries.

A harness system configured to facilitate adjustably securing guests with varying body types within a ride vehicle. The harness system may include a harness body configured to releasably couple with the ride vehicle, a waist engagement portion of the harness body, the waist engagement portion including a waist securement mechanism configured to contract or expand a functional length of the waist engagement portion to adjust for engagement with a waist of a guest, a vest portion of the harness body, wherein the vest portion includes a height adjuster configured to extend or retract such that shoulder bands extend or retract relative to the waist engagement portion, and a leg engagement portion comprising a first leg flap configured to adjustably secure about a first leg of the guest and a second leg flap configured to adjustable secure about a second leg of the guest.

A system includes a first cummerbund that includes a slot. Furthermore, the system includes a lap bar that couples to first and second pivot points and rotates in a first circumferential direction about the first and second pivot points. The lap bar extends through the slot of the first cummerbund such that the first cummerbund translates in a first lateral direction relative to the lap bar to adjust a position of the lap bar within the slot.

A system includes a ride vehicle of an amusement park ride and a restraint system coupled to the ride vehicle and including a lock having a detector that may receive a wireless signal. Receiving the wireless signal causes the lock to lock or unlock and the restraint system may secure a rider within the ride vehicle.

A vehicle configuration wherein the center of mass of the vehicle is approximately superimposed upon the passenger and driver centers of mass when seated within the vehicle. An occupant's center of mass can be approximated using a standard center of mass position approximation, or a combination of any number of standard center of mass position approximations. The vehicle's center of mass can be approximately superimposed upon the occupant's center of mass in at least the longitudinal and vertical directions.
