Safety measures to keep in mind
While fair rides can offer an incredible experience, safety must always come first, according to safety experts. Because they are expressly made to keep people safe, they advise remaining seated until the ride has completely stopped and ensuring that all safety restraints, such as seat belts, harnesses, and lap bars, are in place before the ride starts.
Secure loose objects like hair, hats, sunglasses, dupattas, sarees, phones, and jewelry before boarding any fair rides. These things may fall or become lost due to the rides' abrupt movements, and sarees, hair, or stoles may become twisted in the swings, which might have tragic results, as was the case in Kannauj.
