About Theme Park Accidents

A theme park accident can be defined as any accident that occurs within the grounds of a theme park, whether it be on a ride, in a restaurant, or in the theme park’s grounds.

The health and safety regulations that govern theme parks are extremely complex. They refer to all elements of the theme park’s organisation, from the design of rides to the running of restaurants.

Identifying who is at fault for a theme park accident can be tricky due to the number of people involved in the park’s running. An accident on a ride may have been caused by the ride’s designers, by the staff operating the ride, or by a system fault that should have been identified by another member of the theme park’s staff. To help identify who is responsible for which aspect of the theme park, guidelines have been set.

• Designers and installers must ensure that the attractions they create are safe and installed correctly
• Theme park managers are responsible for ensuring the park runs safely on a day-to-day basis; they do this by carrying out regular risk assessments, ensuring staff are trained, and outlining emergency procedures
• Theme park operators must ensure that the rides they are working on are working safely; if they suspect a problem, they must report it.

Accidents often occur when staff fail to carry out their duties properly. When problems with rides aren’t identified and managed, it is easy for accidents to happen.
