A good time for ourselves and our families.
Amusement parks promise amusement.
But there is nothing amusing about the safety problems at amusement parks. There's nothing amusing about the increase in the number of injuries. And there's nothing amusing about the shoddy inspections and spotty records that keep us from preventing these problems. We believe that evidence shows that amusement parks are not as safe as they could be or should be. The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that hospital emergency rooms treated 9200 people for ride-related injuries in 1998.
