				616.242(12),

				the number of carrier units or tubs per ride, the department inspector will
				count the number of passenger positions per carrier unit, or individual tub,
				i.e., the number of seat belts, pre-formed seating spots or other identifiable
				seating arrangements. With no identifiable passenger positions, the inspectors
				will determine the number of positions based on the number of 12-year-old
				passengers that can be positioned safely in the carrier unit, i.e., each
				passenger must have a separate position and meet the required height and/or
				weight requirements for that ride. Sitting on laps to qualify as one position
				will not be permitted.
