Sec. 20.
(1) Before leaving the operator's premises, a rider of a carnival or amusement ride or his or her parent or guardian shall report in writing to the operator or an employee or agent of the operator, on a form provided by the operator or the employee or agent of the operator, any injury sustained on a carnival or amusement ride. The report shall include all of the following information:
(a) The name, address, and telephone number of the injured person.
(b) A brief description of the incident, the injury claimed, and the location, date, and time of the injury.
(c) The cause of the injury, if known.
(d) The name, address, and telephone number of any witness to the incident.
(2) If the rider of a carnival or amusement ride or his or her parent or guardian is unable to file a report under subsection (1) because of the severity of the rider's injuries, the rider or his or her parent or guardian shall file the report as soon as reasonably possible. The failure of a rider or his or her parent or guardian to report an injury under this section does not affect the rider's right to bring a civil action related to the incident.
