Almost all theme park accidents can be prevented. Here, based on theme park safety, are some tips to help
you and your family stay safe on your next visit.
Stay Cool, and Don't Get Burned
Heat causes more pain and injury at theme parks than all the world's roller coasters (过山车) combined.
Water is your best friend in helping p.revent heat-related illnesses in theme parks. Choose water rather than
juice and soft drinks whenever you get thirsty. Put on a waterproof sunscreen before you enter the park. A
hat or sunglass- es can help, too.
Stay In to Stay Safe
On any theme park ride, keep your rear (后部) on the seat, your hands on the grab bar (扶手) and your
feet and knees inside the car. If there is no grab bar, keep your hands on your lap (膝部). If you are riding a
"floorless" coaster, relax your legs. Don't kick them out to the side or front. Do not get on or off a ride until
you've been given the okay by an attendant to do so.
Help the Kids
If you are visiting with a child, tell them how they should be have. Meanwhile, parents also know the
following rules, too.
★Tell them to stay seated, to hold the grab bar or put their hands in the laps.
★And never put a crying child on a ride. If your child starts to cry, let others pass you in line until your
child is calmed. Or, gently exit the queue and find something more relaxing to do.
★Let them take plenty of breaks.
"Kids get tired," said TPI reader Matt Johnson, a father of four. "Tired kids make parents even more tired.
And tired kids and parents get hurt-physically and emotionally." He advises that parefits plan a mid-day break,
perhaps a swim back at the hotel, to avoid mid-day heat and crowds.
"You will see many families having a miserable time while you are refreshed and having a great evening."
