Amusement Park Accident Statistics
Posted By Los Angeles Personal Injury Attorney on Oct 4, 2009 4:15am PDT
It is estimated that nearly 270,000,000 tourists and guests visit amusement parks, theme parks and water parks each year. Of these millions of people, there are an average of 7,000 reported incidents of people being treated in emergency rooms. To help reduce your changes of being injured at an amusement park, you should access the ability of the ride or roller coaster operator. All theme park rides have at least one operator who operates and manages the flow of the ride.
The operators should be watching the ride and observing the riders to guarantee that they enjoy their time and are not injured. If the ride operator is speaking with another employee or a tourist they are not watching the status of the amusement park ride. At a minimum, roller coaster operators must be at least 16 years old, and if you believe that the amusement park ride doesn't appear safe, you should skip that ride - as serious injuries or a wrongful death may result because of the water parks negligence.
