American Flyer is possibly the worst lift in Colorado for the possibility of falling IMHO.
Shockingly it is only a few years old, but it is a very high-speed 6 pack bubble with the enormous sofa style seating. The 'hangers'/chairs are made with a slippery material and almost all of the chairs have a slight lean forwards. Also unlike almost any other chairs they have the huge backs that go up to your head so you cannot for example put your arm over the back rest if you wanted to. To add to the fun the top station is built 20-30 feet above ground level coming into the top station so if you open the bar several towers early, that can freak you out/push you out too (as you come rushing at the terminal at 1100 FPM people want to put the bar up very early).
It is the only lift I can think of in Colo where on every single ride I do the culturally rude thing and make sure the bar gets lowered. Not a fan of that lift in any way. My only surprise since it opened has been the relative lack of people falling off it previously. It seems poorly designed at best. Won't be surprised in the slightest if anyone who falls off that one tries to sue Copper over a dangerous lift design.
