23-89-511. Amusement ride operators.
(a) Any person directly operating any amusement ride or attraction:
(1) Must be at least sixteen (16) years of age;
(2) Must be trained in the proper use and operation of the device;
(3) Must operate only one (1) ride at a time; and
(4) May not operate any amusement ride or attraction while intoxicated.
(b) For the purposes of this section, "intoxicated" means influenced or affected by the ingestion of alcohol, a controlled substance, any intoxicant, or any combination thereof, to such a degree that the operator's reactions, motor skills, and judgment are substantially altered and the operator, therefore, constitutes a clear and substantial danger of physical injury or death to ride patrons.
