So today, joepie went to Walibi Belgium and almost got into a fight with one of the security people working there.

I wonder whether it's standard policy to respond to something unsafely-designed breaking off a ride, by ejecting guests from the park, extorting them, and then trying to restrain them - emphasis on "trying", dude was all muscle with no strength and the panic visibly set in once he realized I wasn't falling for his intimidation tactics.

"You need to pay 800 euro to replace it, otherwise we have to call the cops and you will be here for a couple of hours"

And having the fucking gall to claim that I was obviously intentionally breaking it because I pushed down on it. As a kidney patient I need to support myself on my arms to be able to get out safely, asshole. It's not *my* problem that your ride isn't designed correctly, and you're lucky this didn't end with me falling down.

It's a small consolation that mister security guard probably came away from this with more stress than I did; he was clearly not prepared for an apparent weak target to bite back... and the aggression was very much predatory.

I'm physically fine, cops have taken statements (and already concluded from security footage that it was obviously accidental), and I'm back home now. To be continued. I definitely want *at the very least* an apology from Walibi Belgium for the way I've been treated there.
