FATAL FLAW: Lawmaker fights 'loophole' that may have led to teen's FreeFall ride death
"We should make sure that there is signage as you approach the ride that indicates any height and weight restrictions," Thompson said."It absolutely should be mandatory so that, as the consumer approaches the ride, he or she knows what the height and weight restrictions are, and family members and friends who were with that person would know what those restrictions are."
Additionally, Thompson said there needs to be a number of required training hours for amusement park ride operators, adding that the training component should not be a"checkoff" as it currently is. "And I know that a form is completed and sent to the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, but this should not just be a checkoff. You know, you check the box, and you send it. There should be a curriculum in terms of what the training will involve and a sign-off and some kind of certification that the operators have completed the required training."
we know that the shoulder restraint did not come down where it was supposed to be and that, you know, is an issue."
