Safety is the foundation of every great amusement experience.

At AMTP 2026, Pradeep K Sharma, Chairman & Managing Director, Bombay Amusement Ride P Limited, led a knowledge session on BIS standards for amusement ride safety, including IS 15475:2022 — Code of Recommended Practice for Amusement Rides Safety.

The session highlighted how safety extends across the complete ride lifecycle — from design, manufacturing and installation to risk assessment, operator competency, training and supervision.

For manufacturers, operators and park teams alike, understanding and consistently applying the right standards is essential to building safer, more reliable guest experiences.
