What is the recommended practice for loose articles at loading?

• A. Riders must carry all loose articles on ride
• B. Have riders leave loose articles in a locker or with a non-rider
• C. Place loose articles in a bin during loading
• D. No instruction about loose articles required

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is that loose articles should be secured before loading to prevent injury and loss. The best practice is to have riders leave loose items in a locker or hand them to a non-rider who will safeguard them until after the ride. This keeps the ride area clear, prevents items from becoming projectiles or getting damaged, and helps staff verify nothing is left behind. Carrying loose articles on the ride increases risk of injury or entanglement, placing items in a bin during loading is not secure and can create clutter or misplacement, and not providing any instruction leaves riders unprotected from these hazards.
