You're correct, the articles I was citing deal with all other forms of AWP, overhead safety, and the securing of loose articles at heights, totally different. This is a topic of conversation within both the government and self certifying side of the industry, despite the wording of current publicly posted policy. I guess my question is this: when your articles were lost, were they in your pocket? If so, the policy you cite didn't work as the objects were not secured. If not, and they were in your hand, you were in violation of the policy cited. My point was, and I apologize for any implied condescension, this discussion is being held in regulatory circles specifically because of stories like yours and the number of items that are required to be recovered at the end of a given day. It is only a matter of time before it does impact an employee or patron. Thanks

^^This is the reason parks are requiring the use of "fluffy fluffy bunnies filled with medicine and goo", and enforcing it with metal detectors and line marshals. Give a quick search for "OSHA struck by" and there are a myriad of workplace safety materials on why this is a problem in the workplace. Because protection standards for employees (and guests) are improving, parks legally have no choice but to comply. Since they cant provide every guest with head to toe PPE, provide overhead protection in all areas where guest may encounter an object thrown with force from heights, or move the rides (re-route people) to accommodate a "no entry area" sufficiently large enough, they make you empty your pockets. This is a standard procedure in all overhead work. Apologies for the "lurk" entry, just found it interesting that a 4.55 oz object falling from 200' in the air was not seen as a problem. Thanks

TPRTV is a great addition to the site. thanks!

at one point Galaxyland in the West Edmonton Mall had one.

2001 on a trip to SFMM Karl DeAngelo told me about Robb. 2004 I worked with Jeff Tobey and I was led back here.
