"Park ranger"? It's Rye Playland—they're plain old security guards.

in fact, they are not. they are hired by the westchester county police. it takes a lot to get that job, so they are not just plain old security guards. can a plain security guard arrest someone? no.

Amusement parks should offer a hat with a chin strap to secure religious headgear, wigs, or bad toupees.  If your combover flies more than 8" away from your scalp in a strong wind then you too must wear the hat.

I remember this case, and also remember that the 17 year old was a stupid pig who was looking for something anti-muslim when there wasnt anything racial or prejudice about it. She was the same piece of shit who then threatened the police and assaulted one of the responding officers. Their demands are moronic and full of garbage.

..

Its cleary stated on the sign as you walk into the park, that headgear is prohibited from certain rides.  These same people would file a lawsuit when their kids scarf gets caught in the dragon coaster and is decapitated. 
Rye Playland has had a number of deaths in the past decade. They are covering their asses

It's common sense that you don't wear something on a ride that can fly off or go flying off into someone else's face on get into the equipment. Considering the potential for lawsuits, of course the parks will take every precaution.

Stupid woman. The reason you can't wear a headscarf on certain rides is for your own safety.

Too bad they didn't have the balls to keep the charges. 

Celebrate diversity - or else!

What are you, a diabolical headscarf amusement park ranger? 
Do you realize most amusement parks in the USA freely acknowledge that it is NOT a safety issue and allow women with headscarfs to ride? No, of course you don't. Please, stop wasting everyone's time with your idiotic comments in support of bigotry. 

Muslim woman strangled by her burkha in freak go-kart accident

A young Muslim woman had died after her burkha became snagged in a go-kart.
The
24-year-old woman, who has not yet been named, died a terrifying death
today when a fluttering part of her burkha became caught in the wheels
of a go-kart she was driving near the town of  Port Stephens, north of
Sydney.

The Muslim clothing the woman was wearing flew back as she
sped around the track and part of it became entangled in the go-kart's
wheels.
She was strangled in a second and crashed the vehicle.

Despite
the efforts of paramedics who rushed to her aid, the neck and throat
injuries she suffered were so severe that doctors were unable to revive
her when she arrived at the John Hunter Hospital in the New South Wales
city of Newcastle.
The young woman was riding the go-kart at a
popular recreational area known as Bob's Farm, which offers rides of up
to 15 minutes at a time. 

Her death is being likened to that
of American dancer Isadora Duncan,  acknowledged as being the creator of
modern dance, and who was famous for the flowing silk carves she liked
to wear. 
But while riding in an open-top car in Nice in
1927, her scarf became  entangled in one of the vehicle's spoked wheels
and she was strangled.

for someone who hates Muslims so much, you are displaying a great amount of concern for their well being.

Guess what: Accidents happen. It doesn't mean we need to punish everyone when a 1 in a million accident occurs. If we did that, all toys would be banned, all food would be considered a choking hazard and pulled from the shelves, and all amusement park rides would be outlawed (because, yes, accidents have happened). Simply provide a warning sign saying all clothing, including headgear, should be secured for their safety, and that the amusement park is not liable for any accidents as a result of noncompliance with the warning.  That's it. Sounds pretty reasonable to me.
