Fire Alarms/Life Safety of Amusement Rides

I’m guessing that people are much less likely to falsely activate a break glass pull station than just one with a cover over it. Although it’s not really that much different, people may see breaking glass (and therefore damaging property) as much worse than causing a false alarm.

Well yeah, but as far as I know the Stopper II is just as effective in stopping false alarms as a break-glass cover (if equipped with a horn of course), & it’s not one-time-use too.

If someone pulls the alarm as a prank, that would be quite bad, especially in large occupancy buildings and ride buildings. I think the glass really says “if there’s no fire, don’t pull it.” There’s tons of people at Disney who sometimes do silly things.

Well obviously, but as I said a Stopper II should still be effective in preventing false alarms if it’s a horn model, & there’s no need to replace any glass either: in this day & age a reusable cover like the Stopper II just seems the natural choice (especially since pretty much all call points don’t use glass anymore either).

Interesting control panel pull station.
It’s good that the ride operator has a pull station accessible without having to break glass.

Yep, definitely.
