Safety Tips
Safest Riding Position for Kids
Kids need a stable riding position to safely handle the motion and intensity of amusement rides.
Patron Age and Health
Older riders and people with pre-existing medical conditions may be at higher risk of injury on some types of rides.
Operational Issues
Who's running the rides and are they paying attention to safety?
Intensity of Motion and Emotion
Some rides may be too intense for some riders.
Equipment Failure
Equipment failure is relatively rare on amusement rides, but if a ride looks rickety or poorly maintained, avoid it.
Containment and Restraint
Containment and restraint can be affected by patron size, position, and behavior, as well as acceleration.
