What is the minimum height above protective surfacing for the lowest portion of the hand gripping component on Track Rides?

  1. 60 inches

  2. 64 inches

  3. 70 inches

  4. 78 inches

The correct answer is: 64 inches

The minimum height for the hand gripping component on Track Rides is 64 inches. This ensures that riders of all heights can safely grip the component while on the ride. Option A (60 inches) is incorrect because it is too low and could potentially be reached by smaller riders, putting them at risk of falling off the ride. Option C (70 inches) and option D (78 inches) are both incorrect because they are too high and may limit the accessibility of the ride for taller riders. It is important to have a range of heights on the hand gripping component to accommodate for riders of different heights. Option B strikes the right balance and is the correct answer.
