Tyler’s Law and Ohio Amusement Park Safety

In 2017, a ride malfunction at the Ohio State Fair resulted in several injuries and the death of a teenage boy. A year later, a girl injured in the accident also died from her injuries.

In response, the Ohio Senate passed Tyler’s Law, named after the boy killed in the incident. This law strengthens safety inspection standards and requires qualified individuals to conduct inspections. The law was signed by the Governor in 2019.
