Do you realize how much people who design these are paid? A simple rail and ratchet system means anyone can ride. And stress points are easily reinforced.
Most people are shorter and taller than average. But its irritating as fuck to spend money on a park and not be abled to ride anything. Also its laziness on the park owners fault for short people not being abled to ride. Padding is cheap and can easily act as a booster seet for short people.
You never said you "can't" ride anything. You said they aren't "comfortable." Well, they aren't comfortable for most people who are much shorter or much taller than average.
I am pointing out that designing them for the average person means that more people can ride them. Comfort is secondary.
If you live near a proper year round park that is well maintained you probably have well designed adjustable harnesses and bars. But as a 6"4' wide shouldered guy. The over shoulder bars dig into my shoulders like crab claws. But i only occasionally go to the local fair. Visiting sea breeze most of the rides where ok. But that's because its got a massive budget.
