This report presents information from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) staff on amusement ride injury and fatality incidents. CPSC has jurisdiction over mobile rides, rides that are moved from location to location as part of fairs, carnivals, parties, or other events. It does not have jurisdiction over fixed-site rides, rides that are permanently affixed to a site. The body of this report provides mobile ride injury estimates. To maintain continuity with the past reports and to provide some measure of fixed-site ride injuries, an appendix provides fixed-site ride injury estimates. As in previous reports, inflatable rides, such as inflatable slides and bounces, are considered separately, although many are likely mobile rides. Fatalities from mobile, fixed-site, and indeterminate-site rides are included in the body of the report.
