Water Park Slip and Fall Hazards

Yates Park is one of the prominent water parks in Orchard Park, New York. Known also as Green Lake, it contains both a kid’s splash pad and beach swimming. Splash pads are, of course, a potentially slippery play space, and proper precautions should be taken while inside the splash pad area, but a slip and fall can occur just as easily on a beach. Rocks on dry land or underwater can lead to stubbed toes or scraped knees and even, on occasion, more serious injuries such as sprains or breaks.

Less than an hour from Orchard Park, New York is Six Flags Darien Lake, a popular amusement and water park. With five slides, a lazy river, a wave pool, and a children’s pool, there is a high risk for a slip and fall. As with Yates Park, patrons should be cautious when around pool areas and take note of any posted safety guidelines.

Preventing a Slip And Fall

The excitement of visiting a public park or pool can often cause individuals to be unmindful of potential risks. While it is the responsibility of the entity in charge of the public area to ensure the safety of all patrons, there are measures that can be taken on the part of the patrons to prevent an accident. These steps include but are not limited to:

1. Being aware of the rules both in and around the pool;
2. Not running inside of the pool area;
3. At all times obeying the lifeguards on duty;
4. Wearing water shoes to prevent slips; and
5. Ensuring that you and your loved ones have sufficient training or appropriate flotation devices for swimming.

In water parks, water slides are the greatest cause of personal injury. A report from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission stated that in just one year, over 4,000 water park patrons were hospitalized on account of injuries sustained in parks. Water slides have an abundance of rules, and these should be obeyed by all park patrons so as to ensure both an individual’s safety and the safety of others. The preventative steps listed above should also be taken while around water slides and wave pools.

For private pools at home or at a friend’s house, the same rules apply. When it comes to protecting you and your children from injury, it is good to take such precautionary measures as using appropriate flotation devices and putting up fences around pool areas. It is, of course, inadvisable to swim alone.

Determining Responsibility

Knowing who is responsible for maintaining the safety of park areas is one way to take action in the event of a slip and fall accident. In New York State, responsibility for regulating water parks rests with the New York Department of Labor. Once an injury has been reported to the Department of Labor, there will then be an investigation into the accident to determine whether it was a mechanical issue with the slide or the fault of the ride’s overseers. After receiving the necessary medical attention and reporting your accident, it is then appropriate to seek professional help in representing your legal case.
