A proposed ASTM International standard will establish a test method for obtaining acceleration data on water slides using human test subjects. ASTM International’s amusement rides and devices committee ( F24 ) is developing the proposed standard. Data obtained through the standard is crucial to developing and calculating the expected forces riders feel on a water slide. The level of these forces…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel+1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Katerina Koperna tel +1.610.832.9728; kkoperna@astm.org Release #11216 ###
