Are people with pacemakers allowed at carnivals?
I know they can’t have cellphones and magnets near them so i wondering if going to carnivals for kids was appropriate?
People w/ pacemakers can have & use cellphones and I-pods but should keep them (as well as magnets) about 6 inches from their device. Most carnival rides are safe for people with pacemakers unless they have other heart conditions as well–if a ride has warning that people w/ medical conditions or pregnancy shouldn’t ride–then I’d pass on that particular ride.
