Abandoned amusement parks make me so sad. So much joy was had there, and now so much sadness.....:(

You can buy cheaply manufactured pseudo jackets from Hot Topic, Halloween Stores, and/or some adult shops. Their made out of a very thin canvas though and use only D rings and nylon strap. More or less for costuming and what not. Tripp NYC also makes "straitjackets" too but they're more or less their bondage pants in jacket form. Used more for alternative fashion though than a restraint tool.

It's just the fact that Posey stuff does not end up being used in the wrong hands. There for you need the prescription.

Strange layered cake appearance - yes -
but . . . that white crumbling coating; what could it possibly be?

It's still legal and open to walk the grounds now, and always has been. they don't want you in the construction area, but if they see you, they will just ask if you remain behind the fence where the work is being done. Even still, they don't really care what you do, as long as you don't cause fires

The water line on the mounted monitors, wow, it got high in here. All the CRT monitors, wow, things have changed so much. Now, flat is where it is at.

Thankyoujesus#microsoft#disney#geekswawd?????

REALLY, nobody has put a "Warner Bros" charachter under this piano? I'm going with Daffy duck!

That's the way I look every morning!

Does anybody realize that this is what would happen to ANY fast food place if it was washed from bottom to top?

I"M THE ROOTINEST TOOTINEST SIX-GUN SHOOTINEST- YADA, YADA, WEST OF THE PECHOST'S, help me out here!

All that spinning, it had to catch up at some point...

looks like a weird "foosball" table!

Mica, in the days when this psychiatric hospital was in use about the only problem that the care helped was stress. The more serious disorders were years away from having any real treatment. And now most of it is better living through chemistry. Sad to think that the only treatment some of the mental patients received was being locked up away from everyone they knew and left there for many, many years. The only hope being that the patient would spontaneously heal. Society and Medicine had no better solution.

In my 36+ years of working as an RN I never saw one of these. Even when I worked in the ER the restraint of last resort was full leathers. Basically leather cuffs around the wrists and ankles that then were fixed to the cart. The only way to apply these is to have a large group of people restraining the patient. Usually one for each extremity, the head, and the upper legs. Now the rules on using restraints are designed to not allow medical staff to apply them. Chemical restraint is more popular now, but not used as much as in the past. I saw a guy that was restrained with leathers to an ER cart almost flip the cart over with his manic movements. Also saw a guy try to choke the Doc with the phone cord. ER medicine is a whole different world. Posey also makes a restraint that is sleeveless and secures in the back and has straps that can be tied to the bed frame. We used these a lot in the "old" days. Haven't seen those in years.

And the financial damage to the city would have put Six Flags out of business anyway. Hard to pay amusement park admission when your home is no longer there.
