🚨 Attention: APAC Safety & Security Professionals – Is Your Facility Operating on Old Data?

The data is in—and some of the shifts might surprise you.

In the 2024 Asia Pacific Ride Safety Report:
• Injury rates per million rides dropped to 0.44 — continuing a long-term decline
• But total injuries increased by 9% year-on-year
• Roller coaster-related injuries surged to 39% — the highest on record
• 82% of injuries are now linked to ride motion, not entry/exit
• And here’s the big one: 70% of injuries are tied to guest-related factors

What does this mean for your operations, training, and risk mitigation strategies?

👉 Are your current protocols addressing guest behavior effectively?
👉 Are you prepared for the shift in injury patterns across ride types?
👉 What actions are leading operators taking right now to reduce incidents?

Don’t wait to find out after the fact.
