1 FIXED-SITE AMUSEMENT RIDE INJURY SURVEY, 2015 UPDATE Prepared for International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Alexandria, VA by National Safety Council Research and Statistical Services Group Itasca, IL August 2016 Injury Survey, 2015 Update
2 Preface This report presents the results of work done by the National Safety Council (NSC), Research and Statistical Services Group, under contract to the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions. It includes estimates by the Council for calendar years 2003 through The Council s work is an extension of, but independent of, the estimates made for by Heiden Associates, which are included here for reference and reported more fully in the June/July 2003 issue of Injury Insights (Heiden & McGonegal, 2003). FIXED-SITE AMUSEMENT RIDE INJURY SURVEY, 2015 UPDATE Since 2001 the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) has sponsored an annual survey to collect and analyze ride, attendance, and patron injury data from facilities that operate fixed-site amusement rides. The IAAPA survey was undertaken to gain perspective on fixed-site amusement ride injuries in the United States. The surveys include amusement and theme parks, tourist attractions, and family entertainment centers. The results of these surveys are presented below. A total of 413 U.S fixed-site amusement facilities were invited to participate in the 2015 survey of patron injuries. This total represents a 2% increase from the 405 facilities invited to participate the previous year and was the result of a detailed review of the IAAPA membership roster and market research activities conducted by IAAPA. All facilities received an initial survey packet and a follow-up postcard via mail, while non-respondents received an additional follow-up postcard and contact via . In addition, IAAPA member facilities also received follow-up calls from IAAPA staff or board members urging participation. Facilities were asked to report attendance and ridership as well as the number of patron injuries. This survey process resulted in a total of 160 parks providing attendance-based data and 154 parks providing ridership-based data. Of these, 84 parks provided both attendance and ridership data. Compared to 2014, participation increased 9% among parks providing attendance data and 12% among parks providing ridership data (see Survey Response and Methodology below for more details). Parks participating in the 2015 study represent approximately 67% of total U.S. estimated attendance and 71% of the total estimated rides taken. Separate attendance-based and ridership-based analyses were performed. Not all facilities were able to report both attendance and ridership and therefore there were differences in the selection of facilities used in each analysis. Table 1 presents the attendance-based estimates of ride related injuries for all U.S. parks compared to ridership-based estimates of ride related injuries for the period The difference between the two injury estimates has varied from as little as four in 2014 to as much as 355 in In 2015, the attendance-based injury estimate of 1,502 was 6 injuries less than the ridership-based estimate of 1,508 injuries.

Confidence intervals were developed for the estimated 2015 fixed-site amusement ride injury rates for parks in the United States. Confidence intervals were first developed separately for each park type. Composite confidence intervals for the attendance and ridership rates were then estimated through weighted averages. The confidence intervals along with exposure estimates were then used to estimate the likely range of injuries experienced in The confidence intervals provided below assume a Poisson distribution of the data instead of the normal bellshaped curve often used in statistics. The Poisson distribution is used in the medical and epidemiological fields to model events, particularly uncommon events like injuries and illnesses. This distribution is not symmetric about its mean and so the associated confidence intervals are not symmetric (the upper limit is slightly farther from the estimate than is the lower limit). Comparing previous injury and rate estimates to this year s confidence intervals shows that that the 2015 attendance-based injury count estimate is consistent with 2013, 2012, 2010, 2008, 2007, and 2004 estimates. The 2015 attendance-based rate estimate is consistent with all prior years except for 2014, 2006, and The 2015 ridership-based injury count estimate is consistent with all previous estimates except for 2014, 2013, 2010, 2009, and Finally, the 2015 ridership-based rate estimate is consistent with all previous estimates. 95% Confidence Intervals of Injury Rates and Counts Assuming a Poisson Distribution Attendance Based Estimates Ridership Based Estimates Injury Injury Count Attendance Count Attendance Upper Confidence Limit 5.5 1, ,751 Value 4.8 1, ,508 Lower Confidence Limit 4.2 1, ,300 Injury Survey, 2015 Update - 3 -
4 Injury Rate per Million Attendance (red line) Number (blue line) Number (blue line) ury Rate per Million Patron-Rides (red line) Compared to 2014, the number of patron-injuries in 2015 increased. Attendance-based estimates show a 31% increase while ridership-based estimates show a 32% increase. However, because both attendance and ridership levels increased in 2015, the attendance-based injury rate increased 26% to 4.8 injuries per million attendees, while the ridership-based rate increased 14% to 0.8 per million riders. Figures 1 and 2 below illustrate the longer term injury and injury rate trends for both the attendance- and ridership-based estimates. As can be seen, both estimate procedures show marked decreases in the number of patron-injuries since However, ridership-based injury rates have demonstrated less improvement than have attendance-based rates. Attendancebased and ridership-based injury estimates also show the following differences: Attendance-based: The estimated injury total and injury rate were up in 2015 compared to 2014 (1,502 vs. 1,150 injuries and 4.8 vs. 3.8 injuries per million attendees, respectively). Compared to 2003, the estimated number of injuries in 2015 was down 26%, while the injury rate per million attendees was down 31%. Ridership-based: The estimated injury total was up 32% in 2015 compared to 2014 (1,508 vs. 1,146 injuries), while the injury rate per million patron-rides was up 14% (0.8 vs. 0.7). Compared to 2003, both the estimated number of injuries and the injury rate per million patron-rides in 2015 were down by 23% and 20%, respectively. Figure 1. Figure 2. 4,000 3,500 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 1, Patron Injury and Injury Rate Trends Using Attendance-Based Estimates Ride-Related Injury Rate (per Million Attendance) 4,000 3,500 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 1, Patron Injury and Injury Rate Trends Using Ridership-Based Estimates Ride-Related Rate (per Million Patron-Rides) The distributions of injuries by ride type and injury severity for 2015 obtained from the ridership-based estimates were similar to the distributions obtained from the attendance-based for total injuries, serious injuries, and other injuries. The largest portion of injuries for both sets of estimates took place on family and adult rides, followed by roller coasters and children s rides. However, the portion of injuries by injury severity on children s rides for other injuries and total injuries was higher in the attendance-based analysis compared to the ridership-based analysis, while for family and adult rides the proportions were higher in the ridership-based analysis. For roller coasters, the proportion of other and total injuries was nearly identical in both analyses. For serious injuries, the portion of injuries on children s rides was higher in the ridership-based analysis, while for roller coasters the portion was higher in the attendance-based analysis. For family and adult rides, the proportion of serious injuries was nearly identical in both analyses. Injury Survey, 2015 Update - 4 -
5 Ridership-based rates are perhaps a more appropriate measure of exposure to risk than attendance-based rates because injuries on rides are the outcome of interest. Parks with similar attendance may have much different ridership numbers because of differences in the number and kinds of amusement rides provided. The results discussed in the remainder of the report are based on the ridership analysis, which is shown in Table 2 on pages 6-7. As shown in Figure 3, about 63% of the injuries in 2015 occurred on family and adult rides compared to 58% in 2014, 53% in 2013, and 54% in The overall number of injuries on family and adult rides in 2014 was up 42% compared to 2014, increasing from 670 to 952. The number of injuries on children s rides increased from 94 in 2014 to 119 in 2015, but the overall proportion of injuries on children s rides decreased 4% -- from 8.2% to 7.9%. The overall number of injuries on roller coasters increased from 383 in 2014 to 437 in 2015, an increase of 14.1%. The proportion of injuries on roller coasters also decreased from 33.4% of the injuries in 2014 to 29.0% of the injuries in Figure 3.

Total ride injuries are comprised of events involving getting in/out of the ride and those events resulting from ride motion. A secondary analysis was conducted to gain a better understanding of the prevalence of injuries resulting from ride motion events. The 1.0 per million injury rate on roller coasters decreases to 0.8 per million rides when counting only those incidents due to ride motion. The overall 0.9 per million injury rate for family and adult rides decreases to 0.6 per million rides due to ride motion, and the 0.4 per million injury rate for children s rides decreases to 0.2 per million rides due to ride motion. About 5.5% of the injuries were reported to be serious, meaning an injury resulting in immediate admission and hospitalization in excess of 24 hours for purposes other than medical observation. The remaining 94.5% were reportable injuries that were other than serious. The proportion of injuries that were serious in 2015 was down about 43% from the proportion in Injury Survey, 2015 Update - 5 -

Note: Totals may not equal sum of parts due to rounding. Survey Response Of the 413 eligible facilities with rides in 2015, a total of 170 provided some or all of the data requested (43 provided attendance data only, 37 provided ridership data only, 84 provided both attendance and ridership data, and 6 provided injury data only). The overall total for 2015 represents a 10% decrease from the previous year. The respondents used in the analyses represented about 67.0% of the estimated total annual attendance and 71.5% of the estimated total rides taken at all facilities. The table below summarizes the number of facilities whose data were used for the attendancebased and ridership-based estimates from The number of facilities used for the attendance-based estimate matched the historical high of 2013 at 160, while the number of facilities used for the ridership-based estimate exceeded the previous 2013 high by 5% at 154. It was impractical to find a single set of facilities that reported all data (attendance, ridership, and injuries) for all years as that would have reduced the reliability of the estimates. Table 3.

8 National Attendance and Ridership Estimates Based on IAAPA membership data as well as on going NSC surveillance, it is estimated that 413 facilities were in operation at the end of 2015 (see Table 4). Total U.S. attendance and ridership is estimated by inflating the reported attendance figures by the ratio of the total number of U.S. facilities to the number reporting and calculating average rides per guest figures. Using this method, it is estimated that million people visited U.S. facilities with fixed site amusement rides and approximately 1.79 billion rides were taken in Table 4. of U.S. Fixed-Site Amusement Parks with Rides, Attendance and Ridership Year Number of Facilities w/rides in the U.S. Annual Attendance (millions) Annual Ridership (billions) * Source: , Heiden & McGonegal (2003) , National Safety Council estimates based on fixed-site amusement ride injury surveys. *Changes in the estimating method beginning with 2003 affect comparability with the survey Methodology The National Safety Council conducted the survey using a master list of amusement/theme parks, family entertainment centers, and tourist attractions thought to have fixed-site rides. The original master list was prepared in consultation with IAAPA and Amusement Industry Consulting, Inc. A revised list of member and nonmember parks was provided this year by IAAPA. Additional parks thought to have rides that were on the previous park list were added to the IAAPAprovided list in order to have the most complete universe of parks. The survey consisted of a notification letter, a package of reporting information mailed one week later, a follow-up postcard mailed one week after the reporting package, and a final follow-up postcard mailed at the end of the response period. An additional follow-up to all non-respondents was conducted via . After the mailings and electronic follow-up, IAAPA volunteers made follow-up telephone calls and sent s to non-responding IAAPA member facilities. Injury rates based on the reporting facilities were used to estimate national totals. (See also Survey Response above.) Injury Survey, 2015 Update - 8 -
9 Methodology In 2001 and 2002 IAAPA mailed survey questionnaires to members previously identified as having fixed-site amusement rides. IAAPA retained Heiden Associates, Washington, DC, to analyze the survey results. Using the IAAPA survey results and other data, Heiden Associates estimated the number of U.S. facilities with one or more fixed-site amusement rides and the injury totals and rates.
