Standard Terminology Relating to Amusement Rides and Devices
SCOPE
1.1 This terminology is a repository of terms approved by Committee F24 and its subcommittees. Reproducing terms approved within all other individual F24 standards and guides, this terminology will provide a single location where terms related to amusement rides and devices are freely accessible to the public, committee members and can be maintained, updated and utilized as effective communication tools. Although published alphabetically, terms unique to a specific F24 standard or guide are indicated as such by the reference which follows the applicable term.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

This standard is issued under the fixed designation F747; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original
adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscript

acceleration, impact—those accelerations with duration of less than 200 ms.
acceleration, sustained—those accelerations with duration greater than or equal to 200 ms.
accepted engineering practice—that which conforms to accepted principles, tests, or standards of nationally recognized technical
or scientific authorities.
aerial trekking course—self-guided aerial adventure course containing elements intended to be obstacles.
air-supported structure—an amusement device that incorporates a structural and mechanical system and employs a high-strength
fabric or film that achieves its strength, shape, and stability by pretensioning with internal air pressure, all of which are intended
to provide an enclosed area for the self enjoyment of those so confined within.
aliasing—a phenomenon associated with sampled data systems, wherein a signal containing significant energy at frequencies
greater than one half of the system sample frequency manifests itself in the sampled data as a lower frequency (aliased) signal.
Aliasing can be avoided only by limiting the frequency content of the signal prior to the sampling process. Once a signal has
been aliased, it is not possible to reconstruct the original signal from the sampled data.
amusement railway ride—an amusement ride that may have multiple vehicles (for example, locomotive(s), coach(es), etc.) linked
together, at least one of which has on board mechanical propulsion that has an on board operator(s), utilizing flanged wheels
on railroad type rails with a gauge of 12 in. or greater, that is insular to national regulations, which is designated by the
Designer/Engineer as an amusement railway ride.
amusement ride or amusement device—a device or combination of devices or elements that carry, convey, or direct a person(s)
over or through a fixed or restricted course or within a defined area, for the primary purpose of amusement or entertainment.
