Before you jump on that roller coaster or head down that water slide this summer, state officials are reminding you to take the proper precautions.
PA Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding says you should check to see that the ride you want to go on has a Pennsylvania registration and always follow ride instructions and check boarding restrictions.
Stop riding when you start to feel tired, because you’ll be less alert of your surroundings. And stay hydrated to reduce your risk of illness.
If you’re hoping to spend some time in an amusement park this summer, Pennsylvania is a good place to be. The Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Ride and Measurement Standards oversees more than 9,000 amusement rides and attractions- more than any other state or foreign country.
