Ohio State Fair Safety Upgrades | Columbus News

Before you strap in for a wild ride at the Ohio State Fair, know this: safety isn’t an afterthought—it’s a multi-layered, high-stakes operation. Since Tyler’s Law was enacted after a tragic 2017 accident, every major ride now gets two inspectors, not one, and operators must partner with engineers to tackle corrosion and wear before it becomes dangerous. Safety checks begin during construction, include full test runs, and continue daily with random inspections—even after opening day. Ride companies, state inspectors, and third-party teams all play a role, while fairgoers are reminded to respect height limits and posted rules. It’s a collective effort to ensure every thrill is truly safe. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
