  is involved in an accident which results in an injury shall report  such
  injury to the owner's or lessee's insurer.
2.  The owner or lessee of any amusement device, viewing stand or tent
  which, during the course of its operation, is involved  in  an  accident

  immediately  shut  down  the  device, viewing stand or tent from further
  use. (a) In the case of an amusement device, the device may  not  resume

  injury was not caused by  a  mechanical  or  structural  defect  in  the
  amusement  device; (b) In the case of a viewing stand or tent, the stand
  or tent may not be occupied again until the commissioner or  the  safety
  coordinator  determines  that  the  serious  injury  was not caused by a
  mechanical or structural defect in the viewing stand or tent.
4. If the safety coordinator determines  that  a  serious  injury  was
  caused  by  a  mechanical  or structural defect, the device shall remain
  shut down until such repairs are completed  and  the  device  is  deemed
  operational  by  a  licensed architect, professional engineer, qualified
  inspector of an insurance underwriter or an inspector  approved  by  the
  commissioner.   An affidavit of such inspection and correction of defect
  shall be filed with the commissioner.
