Go back in time to 2012 when robbie8984 posted this video on his YouTube channel capturing his friends seatbelt coming undone on Oblivion located at Alton Towers Resort! Please note, Oblivion is a totally safe ride, it goes through many safety checks each day before opening to the public. This is a rare occurrence and happened over 10 years ago.

Oblivion:
Oblivion beckons you to face your fears. As you’re held, overhanging the edge of the world’s first vertical drop rollercoaster, you get a moment to savour what is to come.
You know you shouldn’t look, but you won’t be able to stop yourself from taking a peek at the colossal vertical 180 feet drop – the tallest at Alton Towers Theme Park.
Prepare yourself – the drop into Oblivion is imminent.

Would you ride OBLIVION?
Her reaction was accurate 😳
Nah if that happened to me I would be so shoved and I would’ve let go of the bars I would’ve fell
She’s scared of rollercoasters not😂😅
The seatbelts don’t hold you in at all, they’re kinda just there so I don’t know why she freaked out so much
I've rode oblivion twice and it's not that bat. Plus the seatbelt isn't really important it's for if the hydraulics don't work
they're there just incase the actual restrains fail and it keep the restraints in place if they unlock for no reason its still very rare that the restraints unlock mid ride
I had this happen on the nemesis lift hill and nothing happened there just extra safety
And that, kids, is why there's a seatbelt.
The seat belt is if the electricity cuts
Bro the clickbait channels make it think that something horrible happened
No lol
It’s ok tat is just an extra thing the bar is secured
Don’t worry ya’ll, seatbelts are added to make guests feel safer, they barely do anything. It’s just visual safety.
There are actually high pressure hydraulic arms and locks that keep the safety bar in place. The seat belt is the secondary measure incase the hydraulics fail but for both to fail on one ride is highly unlikely and your statistically more likely to die in a car accident on the way to the theme park itself
I sometimes undo my friends' seatbelts at the top of lift hills to freak them out knowing full well they are redundant
Hydronic didn't fail why she batching the belt is the backup I'd be worried if the hydronic lock went
seatbelts don't do anything on roller coasters
I've ridden that exact ride the belt itself doesn't really effect it it's just an extra feature to be extra safe luckily there is only one big drop and turn them a slow roll to the start again where you get off
That's why ride restraints have redundancy.
Why is underpants brown?
Your more likely to get struck by lightning than get seriously hurt on a rollercoaster. So for anyone who is now afraid of getting hurt or possibly killed from stuff like this, don’t be!
Ummmmm I literally went on this yesterday
Let me tell you a little secret: the seat belt practically does nothing
Better hold on
That belt is only a secondry fail safe should the main harness fail. The main saftey harness was fine.
💩💩
I went on oblivion today it was scary but quite tame
This is only a seatbelt to make riders feel more safe, it’s not actually needed and this can be shown on the smiler restraints 😁👍
