These days, most lifts provide a safety bar of some type to help prevent a fall off. Typically in a class we teach to bring the bar down to keep yourself safe during the travel time. Typically during a normal run, most of the instructors do not even bother with the bar, making us slightly hypocritical. It's not until you find a news bit like this that forces you to re-think your daily actions.
I've been spending part of the day today to try and remember how/when/where I stopped putting the safety bar down. So far, no specific moment comes to mind.
