Years ago, I developed Cleithrophobia (fear of being trapped) on the Lumberjack ride.

Few summers ago, I went on that ride and got trapped hanging in the air. The lock on my chest was so unusually tight it triggered a near panic attack. I managed to calm down somehow but have issues till this day. I used to love to go on the big rides. Went on all the good ones but these days, I spend my summers mostly in Kidsville or the Thunder Ride, Wild Beast type of rides. But I am longing to go on the Yukon Striker or Alpenfury 😔 For those of you that have done them, how tight are they on your chest ? How would you compare that feeling of tightness to Vortex or Bat for example ?
