I will put my hand up (lol) and say I'm guilty of doing thatCobby wrote: That wouldn't happen. The headchoppers would have passed the safety envelope test before the ride was opened to the public, if there was any risk of a rider being able to touch them they wouldn't have been there in the first place.
I know the rides have been though this and other safety tests but on the second helix when the track goes under itself , just before the tunnel/camera, if I'm sitting on the left hand side of the train I can easily touch the supports for the track above.Now it maybe because I am quite tall but it does get very close and ,by the look of the handprints in the dirt, other people can reach it too.
I've got this photo from a P.O.V video of the ride it's not perfect but it illustrates the point
