IAAPA Ride Safety Report - EMEA

In 2007, IAAPA launched the Ride Safety Reporting System in Europe to collect data that might provide reliable estimates of the volume and nature of ride-related incidents by gathering up-to-date, credible information that it can share in aggregate with interested parties in the industry, the media and government. IRSR helps IAAPA to demonstrate how safe the theme and leisure park industry is; how that compares with the past and with other industries.

IRSR contributes to IAAPA’s key goal of continuous improvement in safety. The research demonstrates that ride accidents at theme parks and amusement parks are rare. Monitoring of traditional and social media confirms this. IRSR looks behind the headlines to explore accident incidence on different types of ride, the location of the accident, and perceptions of cause.
