The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) on Friday announced the publication of information and statistics on U.S. fixed-site amusement ride safety. The information is published in the June-July issue of the National Safety Council (NSC) publication, Injury Insights. Included in the publication are initial injury data from IAAPA's nationwide incident reporting system, summaries of recent scientific studies focusing on industry safety, and a discussion of how design practices are helping the industry to produce safer recreational activities.
"The amusement industry has brought together numerous key safety documents in one place, and we are pleased to publish this information and make it available to all who are interested," said NSC President Alan C. McMillan.
"A great deal has happened in the world of amusement ride safety over the past few years, and we just feel it's the right time to bring all this material together so that, from a variety of angles, anyone can see for themselves how the industry's safety record compares with other recreational activities," said IAAPA President J. Clark Robinson. "A well-known and well-respected organization like the National Safety Council is a perfect partner for this endeavor, so we feel very fortunate that they were interested in publishing this information."
