Abstract
A restraint system is used to provide a dynamically adjustable compliance for an occupant in a ride system. The restraint system includes a strap with adjustable extension length to wrap around the occupant. A tension on the strap is measured and used to adjust the length of the strap to provide different restraint levels. The restraint level is associated with the condition of the occupant (e.g., height, weight, age, shape, size), a property of the ride system (e.g., configuration of the ride vehicle), an operating parameter of the ride vehicle (e.g., velocity, acceleration, moving direction), a feature of the environment that the ride vehicle rides in, or any combination thereof.
