In this blog we talk about how we can help you in case you have an accident on such a visit.

In an amusement park, you should always take certain precautions yourself. For example, you must of course adhere to the safety regulations of an attraction and not engage in risky behavior that could cause accidents. If you do not engage in excessive behavior, in most cases you can hold the amusement park liable if you do suffer injury.

Every amusement park has a duty of care to its visitors. This means that the park must try to prevent unsafe situations as much as possible. For example, the park must meet the following conditions:

• All attractions must be safe and pose no health hazard when used.
• All attractions must be inspected and tested regularly.
• Visitors should be well informed of safety hazards by signs with safety regulations and through staff.
• There must be adequate supervision of compliance with the rules associated with an attraction.
