15 Amusement Park Safety Tips

Summer is coming and the fun has started. But safety is more important, it will ruin your fun if you are injured.

1. Obey listed age, height, weight, and health restrictions.
2. Observe all posted ride safety rules.
3. Keep hands, arms, legs and feet inside the ride at all times.
4. Remain seated in the ride until it comes to a complete stop and you are instructed to exit.
5. Follow all verbal instructions given by ride operators or provided by recorded announcements.
6. Always use safety equipment provided and never attempt to wriggle free of or loosen restraints or other safety devices.
7. Parents with young children should make sure that their children can understand safe and appropriate ride behavior.
8. Never force anyone, especially children, to ride attractions they don’t want to ride.
9. Avoid Neck or back Injuries
Since you’re riding a high-impact ride, you are risking injury. Most common
injuries are back and neck injuries, from riding on different roller coasters. If you have pre-existing back and neck injuries, you need to steer clear of the wild rides.
10. Avoid Split Lip
Some water rides look like pokey, slow, kid-friendly options, but the final drop is intense, and a heavier person sitting behind a lighter person can go flying forward and split the kid’s lip.
11. Scared Kid
Small children get scared on rides, and try to stand up or get out and sometimes they succeed and injuries occur.
12. Steps and Stairs
People run down the stairs, ramps and walkways, that will result in a cut, bruise, scrape or bloody knee. Kids are likely to hurt themselves through being careless and excited when they come to amusement parks.
13. G-force
black outs, vomiting, and disorientation.
14. Avoid Old wooden roller coasters
Neck injuries, back injuries, bruised ribs, bitten lips, lost retainers and migraine headaches are common.
15. Avoid Hit by a cellphone
Keep your stuff in lockers.
