edit: because a lot of people seem to be missing the point of this question i want to clarify that i’m not asking your opinions on putting the bar down vs leaving it up. we all know the purpose of the bar…
The two ski areas I have worked at do not let their employees call it the "safety bar". The reasoning being that it won't physically stop people from falling off. We had to call it the "comfort bar" if anything. I assume this is the same at most Colorado resorts.
I do think it prevents falls in a more psychological way. Like it makes people less likely to consider the possibility that they might fall. It also forces you to assume a better posture/ seated position. And there's probably something to be said for the foot rest taking the weight off your legs and feet.
