When an amusement park accident occurs, your first response should be to inform a park representative. This ensures the employees are made aware that medical assistance is needed. Although medical professionals are on standby at amusement parks, if the injury is severe or life-threatening, you may need to be transferred to a nearby hospital for further treatment. Under Florida law, amusement parks are required to report any injury or illnesses that result in a hospital stay of 24 hours or more.
