Track Rides: The fall height is the distance between ___ and the protective surfacing.

  1. the max. height of the equipment

  2. the lowest point of the equipment

  3. the midpoint of the equipment

  4. the starting point of the equipment

The correct answer is: the max. height of the equipment

Fall height is a key factor in ensuring safety on track rides, as it is the distance between the highest point of the equipment and the protective surfacing. Option B, the lowest point of the equipment, is incorrect because it does not take into account potential drops or elevations on the track. Option C, the midpoint of the equipment, is also incorrect because the fall height is measured from the highest point, not the midpoint. Option D, the starting point of the equipment, is incorrect because it does not take into account potential drops or elevations on the track. Option A, the max. height of the equipment, is the correct answer as it considers the entire height of the equipment and any potential drops or elevations in the track.
