So recently I went on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNzAy70ocss for the first time, and I eventually managed to do the entire ride (from lifthill to end) with my hands up in the air, and that definitely hit quite different (there are no shoulder restraints)
Also, it boggles my mind that with my current health issues, I can do that on such an intense coaster with zero issues, but a swing ride will make me almost pass out
