Operators/Attendants should screen for which of the following?

• A. Height requirements or restrictions
• B. Legitimate safety requirements (guests with disabilities)
• C. Weight requirements or restrictions
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Safety screening for riders focuses on factors that can affect whether a ride can be operated safely. Height is checked because the restraint system and seat design are matched to a specific range; being too short or too tall can prevent the harness from securing properly or compromise ride dynamics. Weight is also important, since the restraints and ride forces rely on riders falling within intended limits to distribute loads correctly and keep the safety system effective. Additionally, legitimate safety requirements regarding guests with disabilities must be considered to determine if accommodations are appropriate and safe or if participation isn’t feasible for that ride, following approved procedures. Because each of these elements can influence safety, all of them are part of proper screening.
