Common Causes of Amusement Park Injuries

Amusement parks are responsible for maintaining their rides, keeping the premises safe, and ensuring that all employees are properly trained. When they fail to do so, accidents can occur, resulting in serious injuries. Additionally, some amusement parks are not built to code, meaning that the entire park is unsafe from the ground up. In any case, when an amusement park accident is the result of negligence, the injured individual may have grounds for a personal injury claim.

Common causes of amusement park accidents include:

  • Inadequate maintenance: Amusement park rides must be properly maintained to ensure they are safe for use. When they are not, accidents can occur.
  • Operator error: Amusement park ride operators must be properly trained to operate the ride safely. When they are not, accidents can occur.
  • Defective design: Sometimes, a ride is defectively designed, making it inherently dangerous. In these cases, the ride manufacturer may be held responsible for any injuries that occur.
  • Inadequate security: Amusement parks have a duty to provide adequate security to keep guests safe. When they fail to do so, accidents can occur.

Types of Amusement Park Injuries

Amusement park accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, many of which are catastrophic or even fatal. In some cases, the victim is thrown from the ride, resulting in traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other life-altering injuries. In others, the victim is injured when the ride malfunctions. For example, a roller coaster may be traveling too fast, resulting in a derailment. In these cases, the victim may suffer broken bones, internal bleeding, and other serious injuries.
