#SafeSwingsSafeSmiles - National Campaign
A Child Fell from a Joyride.
No Law Stopped It.
You Can.
In the last decade, over 2,000 citizens — most of them children — were injured on uncertified amusement rides at fairs and melas across India. There is no mandatory national safety law. We are filing a Supreme Court PIL to change that. Your name makes it stronger.
The Surajkund Tragedy — And the Law That Didn't Exist
A ride collapsed. Children were injured. The operator had no safety certificate.
At one of India's most celebrated annual melas, a joyride failed structurally — injuring visitors including children. When investigators arrived, there was no Structural Stability Audit on record, no operator training certificate, and no liability. The operator simply folded up and left.
This was not a freak accident. It was the predictable result of a system that allows uncertified rides to operate across India with zero federal oversight. The Bureau of Indian Standards has published IS 15475 — a comprehensive safety standard for amusement rides — but its adoption is entirely voluntary. No state government, no municipal authority, and no fair organiser is legally required to follow it.
The legal gap: Article 21 of the Constitution guarantees the Right to Life and Personal Liberty. The Supreme Court has held that this includes the right to live with dignity and safety. A child boarding a ride at a public mela is exercising a fundamental right — and the State has a duty to protect it. Currently, it does not.
What is BIS IS 15475?
The Bureau of Indian Standards' IS 15475 is India's national safety standard for amusement rides and equipment. It specifies structural integrity requirements, load-bearing certifications, operator training norms, periodic inspection mandates, and emergency protocols. It is currently voluntary. PRAN Foundation demands it be made mandatory law with criminal liability for non-compliance.
Three Demands to the Government. One Deadline.
PRAN Foundation has issued a formal 60-day ultimatum. If the Government does not act by 14 May 2026, we will file a PIL before the Supreme Court of India seeking the following reliefs:
Mandatory BIS IS 15475 Compliance
Make the national amusement ride safety standard legally binding. Criminal liability for operators who defy it.
Mandatory Annual Structural Audits
No ride should operate without a certified structural stability audit renewed every 12 months by an accredited engineer.
Central Amusement Safety Regulator
Create a national authority — under MCA or Consumer Affairs — to register, inspect, and penalise amusement ride operators across India.

Before You Board: The 60-Second Safety Audit
Until the law is enforced, protect yourself and your family. Check for these three red flags before boarding any ride at a fair or mela:
Missing Certificate
No Structural Stability Audit certificate displayed at the ticket counter? The ride is unverified. Do not board. Report it.
Visible Rust or Welds
Deep orange rust, cracked joints, or makeshift welding on load-bearing axles or main frame? Walk away immediately.
Untrained Operator
Operator appears distracted, under 18, or cannot explain the emergency stop procedure? That ride is a hazard.
