Or do the same thing they do with the height where you stand next to the raised bar, that you have to stand inside a big wire belt. ;D

it is a hard choice to make because how large is to large? should we stop and weigh people in line? the other thing is would a seat belt of saved her life? so many unanswered questions. I think seat belts would of been great to have and I don't get why six flags didn't have any. the employees would have to tell someone they are to large like kimm said and embarrass them in front of everyone. the guest would get mad and try and make a law suit somehow because it's unfair. seat belts should of been there for extra security. I agree with phil also because bartenders have it hard. I have seen cases where a drunk tries to sue the bar because they served them to much and should of stopped. so when they get in the car they claim it's not their fault. but the person drinking they know the risks before if they don't have a ride or taxi. they should know better to not drink and drive.

Exactly, Angel607, They're damned if they do and damned if they don't. If they can't weight people before going on the ride. And you're right they may bring up a suit if they're refused access to the ride and then the park faces 1 anyway if they get killed or injured.
Engineering of the ride has it that the safety beam is enough because of where it is located and how people are seated, perhaps not considering the extreme case like this person's weight.
They may have to do this, place secondary belts on specific seats and insist that select passengers only are seated where there's a belt. That's an extra step but if it saves a life its a step well worth taking.
As for the bar situation that's on the person drinking. If you plan on being blitzed like Angel607 says have a taxi or a ride planned if you decide to drive you take that responsibility not the bar. You chose to drive knowing you weren't in the right condition to so you deal with the legal trouble that follows. Not whoever served you a drink or 1 too many.
