CAN I SUE A THEME PARK FOR INJURIES?

In many instances of amusement park negligence, theme park operators or their employees may fail to take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of their guests. Theme parks may be liable for injury or death to a guest in many negligent situations; a few examples are below:

  • Ride Mechanical Failure. If a lap bar detaches or another mechanical failure occurs, then the theme park could be liable for failing to inspect or maintain the ride. The ride may also suffer from a manufacturing defect or defective product.
  • Failure to Operate a Ride Properly. If an employee does not attach a lap bar correctly or acts negligently while operating a ride, then the operator places guests at risk for injury.
  • Failure to Provide Appropriate Warnings or Instructions. If the theme park does not provide guests with appropriate warnings about a ride or does not provide correct instructions so that guests may avoid injury, then the theme park may be at fault.

WHAT IS THE MOST DANGEROUS AMUSEMENT PARK RIDE?

According to accident statistics from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, theme park guests under the age of 20 suffer just over 50 percent of all theme park ride injuries. Of these guests, theme park injuries to children ages 10 to 14 had the highest overall injury rate.

Many injuries at amusement parks happen while riding roller coasters and other high-speed or high-intensity theme park rides. Roller coasters have also caused several fatal theme park accidents. However, any park ride is capable of causing serious or fatal injuries to guests.

Some other common injuries guests may suffer on theme park rides include:

  • Brain and neck injuries, such as concussions, whiplash from the high speeds or G-forces and detached objects colliding with a rider’s head
  • Injuries to the head, neck and spinal cord injury due to bumper cars, spinning rides or roller coasters
  • Brain aneurysms from rapid rides, including roller coasters
  • Death from drowning in water rides
  • Death caused by falling from or being thrown from a ride
