Theme parks can be fun for people of all ages to visit, often providing terrifying rides for eager thrill seekers, and tamer activities for those who would prefer to keep their feet planted firmly on the ground.
It is common for roller coasters to involve loops and sudden drops at very high speeds which can take riders by surprise, and if they aren't properly prepared for such vigorous movement, they may sustain a personal injury, such as whiplash.
Individual attractions usually have strict rules in place which help to ensure the safety of the public, for example, some rides may be unsuitable for pregnant women or for children under a certain height.
These restrictions are made to protect unsuitable riders from the potential dangers a particular experience may pose to them. Health and physical requirements are usually listed at the beginning of the ride and enforced by members of staff who have a duty to look after the safety of guests.
Visitors who are unsure about whether a certain attraction would be safe for them to ride on should discuss any concerns with a member of staff.
Once on the ride, passengers should behave responsibly, keeping their limbs inside the vehicle they are travelling in. They should not attempt to break free from any safety harnesses or seatbelts which have been fitted.
After the ride has finished, passengers should wait until they are informed that it is safe to leave the vehicle – in some cases visitors may require help to release a harness. Members of staff will then direct people towards the exit of the attraction.
If a rider suffers a whiplash injury as a result of not following park safety guidelines or misuse, it is unlikely that park owners would held liable. However, if an injury is caused by a faulty ride or the negligence of park staff, then injured guests may be able to make a claim for accident compensation.
Personal injuries, such as whiplash, can have a significant effect on a victim's life, causing them pain, suffering and even loss of earnings. A compensation claim can often help people to get their lives back on track.
