This is the only chair me and my dad have been on without safety bars? with us being from NY this is very strange. This was the main chair I was at. I think later n they installed safety bars on this thing? Where’s the lift now and so glad its gone?

Running as a double these days. Lift seems like it is just hanging on for life.

Just noticed…
Similar angle, but mine was a chair behind, and the chairs had bars on them in my pic
