How should you handle a guest who is injured while on the ride?

• A. Provide first aid per training if safe to do so, call emergency services, secure the area, and document the incident.
• B. Remove the rider and continue the ride.
• C. Ignore unless it is life-threatening.
• D. Notify a supervisor after the shift.

Answer: (A)

When a guest is injured on a ride, safety and prompt care come first. Provide first aid per your training if it’s safe to do so, since early basic care can prevent complications and stabilize the guest. If the injury needs more than basic care, call emergency services right away. At the same time, secure the area to keep others safe and preserve the scene for responders. Finally, document the incident according to policy so there’s a clear record of what happened and what actions were taken. This sequence protects the guest, others, and the operation, and meets legal and company requirements. Skipping care or continuing the ride puts people at risk; ignoring the injury is unsafe; and delaying notification until after your shift can delay essential help and documentation.
