Getting stuck between the cobra roll / loop has happened here... I even found the thread about it. Getting stuck in the cobra roll hasn't happned here... yet...
It has happend several times at SFMM and has happened at least once at SFOG. It happens from time to time at SFMM but no one ever reports it anymore basically cause no one cares out there, just another breakdown. It's possible though unlikely, which is why those(yes, utterly useless) platforms are there. Cherry picker would be easier and safer in my opinion.

Some of us just need to lay off the fact about it breaking down. Who cares? Rides break down all the time. That's what you get with machines, it's just that some machines are more agile to break down than others.
Nobody has died on it yet, and nobody has been seriously injured so it shouldn't.
And if you're one of those people that don't want to promote the ride becuase it has so much downtime, or that you just don't want to ride it, then don't. Ride something else, and make the line one minute shorter for myself and the others who don't have a problem.
The pics would be nice to see, however, if they can eventually be uploaded. That would solve that part of the debate altogether.
I have pictures, but you cant tell that its stuck, because its a still shot. I was there on the 31st. I was also there on May 1st when it missed the catching device on the second tower.
if you guys think about it... the malfunctions give the ride half the thrill. Without all the miscatches and whatnot the ride would not be feared by most and would be kindof boring... When i am on the ride i yell DONT CATCH DONT CATCH!.... Its only happened one time and it was the best ride of mine yet...
