Theme Parks Must Report Injuries
The newly opened Legoland has joined other Florida theme parks in reporting injuries suffered by patrons while visiting their venues, according to the SunSentinel.Com.
Injuries to be Reported to Bureau Of Fair Rides
The State's Bureau of Fair Rides receives quarterly reports of certain injuries and illnesses from all major Florida theme parks. For example, 12 injuries were reported during the fourth quarter of 2011 by Orlando's theme parks. The injuries included a fractured ankle caused by a slip and fall. However, the reports also include illnesses, such as the case of a 71-year-old man "not feeling well" before and after riding "Expedition Everest" in Disney's Animal Kingdom, who's reports have also noted that a blocked artery was a factor when a 43-year-old woman who complained of nausea and dizziness related to the Magic Kingdom's "Space Mountain" ride.
