Some Rules for Safe Riding
- DRESS YOUR FAMILY FOR SAFETY Make sure everyone wears sturdy, closed-toe shoes; ties back long hair; and avoids dangling drawstrings and jewelery that might get caught in machinery.
- OBSERVE THE RIDE’S OPERATORS before you buy a ticket. How many are there? Are they paying closer attention when they check safety restrains? Do they watch the ride while it’s motion? If the answers leave you ill at ease, choose another ride.
- STAY AGE APPROPRIATE Check that your child meets height, weight and age requirements, and make sure any restraints fit snugly. Also, consider here general behaviour: If she often has trouble staying seated or following direction, or if she’s easily frightened, an adult should ride with her.
- WATCH THE RIDE with your child first, so he understands what will happen after he boards. Instruct him to keep arms, legs, and feet inside the ride at all times; hold tight to any handholds or bars; and follow directions from the ride operator.
- FINALLY, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. Consult your doctor and double-check warning signs before riding if you’re pregnant, recovering from surgery, or have any condition that makes you more susceptible to injuries from many rides’ high speeds and g-forces.
