What should be done if a passenger is not following safety instructions during the ride?

Ceasing operations and addressing the passenger is essential for ensuring everyone's safety during the ride. When a passenger does not follow safety instructions, it poses a risk not only to themselves but also to others on the ride. By stopping the operation, you can directly confront the passenger and remind them of the safety protocols, which helps reinforce the importance of following the rules for the benefit of all. This proactive approach ensures that the situation is handled immediately and effectively, preventing any potential hazards that could arise from noncompliance with safety measures.

Other approaches, like ignoring the situation, are ineffective as they could lead to accidents or incidents. Similarly, documenting the incident after it has occurred may be valuable for record-keeping but does not address the immediate risk. Asking other passengers to intervene could lead to confusion or escalation, which is why direct intervention by ride personnel is the best course of action.
