Causes of Amusement Park Accidents

The personal injury law office of Scott M. Miller represents people injured in amusement park accidents involving:

• Malfunctioning brakes
• Snapped cables
• Malfunctioning pulleys
• Interruption of water on water rides and slides
• Malfunctioning braces and shoulder harnesses
• Physical assault on parking lots
• Food poisoning inside park restaurants and food stands
• Poor training of ride operators and park employees

Poor Employee Training and Injuries

Most amusement parks employ a large number of seasonal workers during the summer months. As a result, ride operators are not always properly trained or familiar with the functioning aspects of a ride. When problems with safety systems or functioning parts arise, these employees aren't always prepared to identify when to notify maintenance or when to close a ride. Additionally, these employees don't always securely fashion shoulder harnesses, seat belts or restraining systems properly. By interviewing eyewitnesses and inspecting belts, harnesses and restraining systems, we can determine if they were improperly secured or malfunctioning at the time of our client's accident.
