The Gravitron wasn't the open top kind with the chain. That was the Round Up, and it would lift up after getting g up to speed and go almost vertical.

The Gravitron was enclosed and had angled walls. I think the walls were padded and would slide up a bit when the machine was up to speed. Heavier people would have their section slide up sooner than others.
