• Never ride while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Don’t board a ride if you see broken parts, signs of improper
maintenance, or an inattentive operator.
• Drink plenty of water while visiting an amusement facility, espe-
cially on a hot day.
• Wear comfortable clothing and shoes when visiting an amuse-
ment facility.
• Take frequent breaks.
• Pay attention to walking surfaces (cracks, holes, elevations, miss-
ing grates, etc.) a broken ankle or bone will also hinder a day.
• Do not put a child on a ride that they may be afraid of.
• Watch the ride with your child before boarding.
• Tell children to hold on tightly with both hands to lap bars, hand-
holds or any other item designed specifically for hand place-
ment.
• Obey minimum height, age, and weight restrictions.
• If you can’t count on your child to stay seated with hands and
feet inside, don’t let them ride.
• Don’t let kids supervise kids on amusement rides.
• If your children are going off with a group of children, talk about
group issues. What should your children do if one of the kids
they are with starts fooling around on a ride? What if one child
doesn’t want to go on a ride and the others start teasing or pres-
suring him?
