Coming Soon: ‘Safety by Choice’- A New Guide to Safer Amusement Parks

In the amusement park industry, safety is often discussed in terms of systems, protocols, and regulatory compliance. While these are essential, they only tell part of the story. True amusement ride safety goes beyond processes- it begins with a conscious decision.

At Bombay Amusement Ride (P) Limited (BARPL), we believe that safety is not something you simply implement. It is something you choose- every single day.

Processes can be documented. Standards can be enforced. But without intent, even the best ride safety standards fall short.

Choosing safety means:

• Prioritizing amusement park safety standards over short-term gains

• Investing in high-quality amusement rides and engineering

• Empowering teams to follow ride inspection and maintenance protocols

• Designing rides with both safety and user experience in mind

The Importance of Safety in the Amusement Industry

Amusement parks are built to create joy, excitement, and unforgettable experiences. But behind every smile is a responsibility- to ensure that every ride is safe, reliable, and compliant with international safety standards for amusement rides.

This responsibility cannot rely on checklists alone.

It requires:

• Continuous ride safety inspections

• Strong leadership commitment to park safety management

• Industry-wide awareness of amusement ride regulations

• A culture where safety is non-negotiable
