Saferparks Proposal:
National Amusement Ride Safety Plan

Everyone who works on or uses amusement rides should be required to abide by the simple common sense requirements outlined for patrons in the ASTM standard for operation of amusement rides and devices (ASTM F770).

Within the current ASTM standards for amusement rides and devices, patrons are the only people required to use good judgment, stay sober, use all provided safety equipment, and follow all instructions given for safe use of the machinery. Rider Responsibility is an important piece of the safety equation, but those expectations and requirements should apply to the people operating, maintaining, and inspecting the equipment as well as the customers who use it.
