Rolling car rides, commonly known as "trackless" or "dark" rides, are a staple in amusement parks worldwide. Ensuring the safety of these attractions involves a comprehensive approach encompassing design, inspection, and operational protocols.
Key Safety Standards for Rolling Car Rides
1. Design and Construction Standards
The design and construction of rolling car rides must adhere to established safety standards to ensure structural integrity and rider safety. Manufacturers are required to comply with guidelines set by recognized bodies such as ASTM International Committee F24 on Amusement Rides and Devices.
2. Regular Inspections and Maintenance
Routine inspections are crucial to identify and address potential hazards. In the United States, state and local governments are responsible for establishing safety audit and inspection programs for amusement rides within their jurisdictions. For instance, the New York State Department of Labor enforces amusement ride safety throughout the state, inspecting all rides at stationary amusement parks at least once a year.
3. Operator Training and Certification
Operators must undergo thorough training to handle the ride safely and respond effectively in emergencies. In Missouri, for example, the Division of Fire Safety requires amusement ride owners to provide documentation indicating that each ride has passed a safety inspection by a state-approved inspector within the last 12 months.
4. Rider Safety Guidelines
Clear safety instructions should be provided to riders, including height, weight, and health restrictions. Riders are advised to keep hands, arms, legs, and feet inside the ride at all times and to remain seated until the ride comes to a complete stop.
5. Emergency Preparedness
Amusement parks must have emergency response plans in place, including accessible emergency exits and communication systems. Regular drills ensure that staff can respond promptly to any incidents.
6. Compliance with Regulatory Authorities
Adhering to regulations set by authorities such as the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) is essential. IAAPA advocates for effective amusement ride safety legislation and collaborates with regulatory bodies to develop safety standards.
7. Incident Reporting and Investigation
Establishing protocols for reporting and investigating incidents helps in identifying root causes and implementing corrective measures. For example, the Missouri Department of Public Safety requires amusement ride owners to file an itinerary with the Division of Fire Safety no less than 15 days before event dates, detailing event dates, setup dates, and contact information.
8. Public Awareness and Education
Educating the public about ride safety through signage, announcements, and staff interactions promotes a culture of safety. The Illinois Department of Labor recommends that parents watch before allowing their children to ride and ensure they understand and follow safe and appropriate ride behavior.
By adhering to these safety standards, amusement parks can provide a secure and enjoyable experience for all visitors.
