Step One in Amusement Park Safety Begins With Parents
The Philadelphia amusement park accident lawyers at Reiff and Bily recently concluded a matter where a young child was seriously injured at a carnival amusement when the young boy wandered away from his mother into an unsupervised area when he got caught and was dragged into one of the operating parts of the amusement. The amusement park alleged that the mother was negligent for failing to supervise her child. All amusement parks and carnivals are supposed to be magical places typically associated with the feelings of happiness and joy. Many times when there is a lack of supervision by parents, as well as amusement park employees and personnel, catastrophic accidents and deaths can occur.
In today’s crippled economy, it is not safe to assume that amusement park attendants are paying full attention to your children or to your own safety. Parents should always watch their children at all times and avoid allowing them to become lost or injured. Never leave them unattended for even a moment. Please pay attention to park attendants and safety instructions provided. When your children get on a ride, make sure that they follow the rules including the usage of safety belts as well as all height requirements. Parents should advise children not to disconnect restraints or stand up during the ride or show off for them or their friends while the ride is in progress.
