Standard Practice for Hayride Attractions
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 The purpose of this standard practice is to delineate requirements regarding the design, operation, maintenance and inspection of hayride attractions with the primary purpose of entertainment, recreation or agritourism.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice applies to hayride attractions used primarily in amusement, entertainment, recreational or agritourism applications. Such applications include but are not limited to family entertainment centers, camps, shopping centers, malls, seasonal attractions, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, farms, tree farms, temporary special events, fairs, carnivals and municipal parks.
1.2 This practice is intended to provide consistent criteria, references and operational considerations in the specifications, management and operation of hayride attractions.
1.3 This practice establishes guidelines that will provide a level of conformity for the purpose of reducing potential hazards to patrons, attendants, actors and spectators.
1.4 This practice is intended to be taken into consideration by architects, designers, engineers, construction contractors, manufacturers, appropriate inspectors, owners and operators who are involved with the design, construction, manufacture, installation, operation, maintenance, inspection or major modification of hayride attractions.
1.5 This practice specifically includes the following types of devices or attractions:
1.5.1 Hayride attractions used as an element or in combination with another hayride attraction, corn maze, zombie walk, paintball game, tree harvesting farm, seasonal attraction, haunted house, haunted attraction, fair, exposition or agritourism event.
1.5.2 Hayride attractions used primarily in off road applications, fixed courses or designated areas.
1.5.2.1 Hayride attractions in this standard are towed by mechanical means.
1.6 This practice specifically excludes the following types of devices or attractions:
1.6.1 Hayride attractions designed exclusively for private or home use.
1.6.2 Amusement rides, devices or attractions with a mechanical power rating of 27 (hp) or less and commonly referred to as a trackless train, mall train, tandem wagon or barrel train.
1.6.3 Animal powered or drawn carriages, wagons or trailers.
1.6.4 Human powered or drawn carriages, wagons or trailers.
1.6.5 Passenger trams used primarily in amusement parks, theme parks, zoos, wildlife parks or water parks.
1.6.6 Amusement rides, devices or attractions where the passenger carriers are guided by a rail or track system.
1.6.7 Parade floats.
1.7 This standard practice does not purport to address all of the hazards associated with hayride attractions. The practice’s existence alone will not prevent injuries. Like other physical activities, hayride attraction use involves the risk of injury, particularly if the equipment is used improperly or if users fail to follow the posted rules or fail to follow attendant’s instructions. The text of this standard practice references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the standard.
1.8 This practice includes an appendix (non-mandatory), which provides additional information (for example, rationale, background, interpretations, drawings, commentary and so forth) to improve the user’s understanding and application of the criteria presented in this practice. The appendix information shall not be interpreted as mandatory criteria.
