Skelly’s Amusements is very proud of its ride safety program.  A person trained and certified as a Level II inspector by the National Association of Amusement Ride Safety Officials (NAARSO) supervises it. The program includes operator training, ride inspection and maintenance.

     Our program requires that the operators must be trained to operate the ride based on the manufacturer’s requirements.  They must know the limitations on who may ride the ride.  They must know how to do the daily operational checks and they must demonstrate the use of all operating controls.  Our program requires that all training must be performed by an employee with a minimum of 3 years of operating experience.

     Each day, before a ride opens to the public, it must be thoroughly inspected as per the manufacturer’s requirements. The inspection is documented on a form designed specifically for each individual ride. The operator’s daily inspection is also supplemented by our quality control inspection.  The “QC” team consists of people employed by us a minimum of 4 years. They have attended NAARSO recognized safety seminars and have passed the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Level II certification exam.  The “QC” team is also responsible for holding our weekly staff safety meetings.

     During the season, our ride operator’s perform all of the required daily maintenance.  We teach it as part of their training.   More detailed weekly and monthly maintenance requirements are the responsibility of our “QC” team.  At the end of the season, each ride undergoes an annual examination at our workshop in Williamstown, New Jersey.  Once complete, the ride is then stored indoors through the winter.

     Below is a list of general Midway Safety rules that we strongly recommend on our midway.  Please take a minute or two to read them over!
