Normally they check with every single rider, but for some reason the guy didn't check my section of the octagon (or whatever hexagonal shape the Detonator is); four of us weren't confirmed to be safely secured.
So the ride took off and I held down my harness with all of my strength. I wasn't secure. Thank goodness for g-forces, I guess, for helping keep me in my seat instead of flying off to certain death.

That's the good thing about Disney World, I suppose. I've never, ever had the them NOT check any of the restraints. They are pretty nazi-ish about it. I know most of their rides are pretty tame, but at least I'm not going to die on them.
