* Watch the ride before boarding. Read the warning signs out loud, explain to children how the ride works.
* Obey height, age, weight and health restrictions.
* Don’t put children on rides they are scared of. Some injuries are a result of children getting off while the ride is moving.
* Follow any special instructions about seating order or loading.
* Always use the safety equipment provided, but be aware of its limitations. If a lap bar doesn’t fit closely, a fast-moving ride can cause a child to slip out.
