Putting down the bar

Ever notice that people who put the bar down, put it back up a good 3-5 chair-lift poles before the top of the chair?what makes people think that they are safer for the last 3 chair lift poles before the top of the chair that they can put the bar up then? I mean, if you're going to fall off the chair, it can happen at anytime right? So why don't people who put the bar down, wait for the top station to put the bar back up? it doesn't take more than 5 seconds to prepare yourself to get off the chair.. yet people feel the need for a good 45 seconds to get ready with the bar up, but they have to have the bar down for the other part of the ride...I vote fuck the bar

your not going to fall out of the chair. the chair wont stop fast enough for you to fall. if its too windy they wont run the chairs. you gotta try to fall out of a chair. bars are for fags. unless they have a map on them, or footrests, wtf?? i also hate it when you are on a 6 pack with 5 friends and that single fag puts down the bar and hits you in the back of the head. That was when i almost fell out, when someone almost knocked me out with the fucking bar.

I don't mind either way..... Just please F$@%ing tell me before you bring the bar crashing down on my head or back as I unbuckle my boots. That is when the ride becomes hostile....

My dad and I usually never even put it down. We're usually having a conversation and don't think about it.

I can't stand the bars, especially the ones with foot rests, because they also have dividers between the seats and I can't spread out... and I'm too tall for the rests to be useful. The only way I'm falling off a chair is if I fall asleep on it. But I can never seem to find a way to get on one without having some gomer there with me who treats the bar like it's a necessity, as if there's no option. I'm a big guy, so it's more uncomfortable for me, I guess.

I always notice that too, but they always feel the need to throw the bar down THE VERY SECOND you sit down, you dont get any time to move your legs out of the way of the seperators or make sure it dosnt hit you in the head... bastards

The worst is when some fucking moron doesn't wait for you to properly sit down and you end up with the divider between your legs like you're trying to fuck it.

i put the bar down sometimes because my legs are too short, so i cant sit all the way back without feeling like im getting pulled off. so i have to be forward a little bit, and feel like im going to fall off (im a snowboarder so its a bit different)

some girl at my home 'mountain' didnt have the bar down, fell off, broke both her legs, and was out cold for a bit. and now since im an instructor, whenever i take up little kids on the chairlift, i freak out and make them sit still and hold onto that bar with dear life.

plus, i have to put down the bar or else i get fired, so at other mountains it's just like automatic for me.

Yeah at jay the bar is a must, but most places I don't put it down because the footrests only make my feet sore, so I'd rather have them dangle.

I NEVER put the bar down. And Safety Patrol is always bitching me out. And I'm likely going to flip next time someone says something to me about putting the bar down.

While they are bitching at me to put my bar down, some kid is going straight down the hill, completely out of control doing like 50mph. legs wobbling everywhere.

And nevermind the kids sitting right after landings.

But the main cause of injuries must be people falling off lifts, because that is their main safety priority.

I just hate when people put it up or down and don't tell you so it hits you in the leg or head or pinches your arm.
