The use of the WR-3 Plus aligns with the industrial standards for wind safety in amusement parks. According to the European Standard EN 13814, which outlines the safety requirements for amusement rides, ferris wheels and similar attractions must stop operating when wind speeds exceed 15 meters per second (approximately 33.5 miles per hour).
By continuously monitoring atmospheric conditions, operators of the ferris wheel can make informed decisions, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for visitors, even amidst unpredictable weather conditions.
