From 1990 to 2010, 92,885 children were treated in emergency rooms across the United States for amusement ride related injuries. This averages about 4,423 injuries a year—most of which occur in the warm summer months May through September. This study found that head and neck injuries were the most common, followed by arms, face, and legs. While the majority of these injuries were mild soft tissue injuries, serious injuries that required hospitalization occurred once every three days on average.
