==Amusement rides== The emergency stop on an [[amusement ride]] is similar to that on industrial equipment. Typically brakes on a ride are designed to be disengaged when power is applied; disconnecting power will cause all brakes to engage. Most amusement rides have a computer that can, similar to the rail example provided above, engage the emergency stop when such a ride is determined to be out of operating specification, or an accident involving a passenger or ride employee has happened.<ref name=MusementParkWWAYTV32021>{{cite news |publisher=[[WWAYTV3]] (CBS) |url=https://www.wwaytv3.com/viral-video-of-malfunctioning-amusement-park-ride-prompts-question-how-safe-are-rides-in-nc/ |title=Viral video of malfunctioning amusement park ride prompts question: How sare are rides in NC |date=July 13, 2021 |access-date=January 4, 2023}}</ref>
