Section 5:14A-9.12 - Vehicle integrity

(a) The interior and exterior parts of all rider carrying amusement rides with which a rider may come in contact shall be smooth and rounded, free from sharp, rough or splintered edges and corners, with no protruding studs, bolts, screws or other projections which might cause injury.

(b) Interior parts upon which a rider may be forcibly thrown by the action of the ride shall be adequately padded.

(c) Seatbelts, lap bars, straps, shoulder harnesses, chains, secondary locking devices and any other form of restraint, constraint or containment device shall be in proper working order or vehicle shall be tagged "Out of Service."

(d) Handholds, bars, footrests and other equipment as may be necessary for safe entrance and exit to and from amusement rides shall be provided and maintained in a safe condition. Such equipment shall be of sufficient strength to support the riders.

(e) Where only individual units of a ride, such as cars, seats or other carriers are defective and not in compliance with this chapter, such units shall be taken out of service and clearly marked with a sign reading "Out of Service," provided, however, that such defects do not jeopardize safety and that removing these units does not unbalance the ride.
