Judging from the signs I've seen on lift towers in Vermont, state law
requires prescribes the use of safety bars.

Call me a whose, but I always lower the bar, for the same reason I
keep my seat belt fastened on airliners: the real possibility of
bumps.

I also seem to recall that a young girl was killed at Killington
several years ago after falling from a lift, though I don't recall
the exact circumstances.

Amen! The older I get, the more I seem to be made uneasy by heights.
And hanging a 100 feet over rocks without something to hold on to
isn't my idea of a good time.  And to think that as a 4-year-old I
would climb to the peak of the garage roof, much to my mother's
distress.
