How old must candidates be to become certified as a site controller?

To become certified as a site controller, candidates must be at least 18 years old. This age requirement is likely in place to ensure that individuals have reached a level of maturity and responsibility deemed necessary to handle the complex tasks associated with operating a Skycoaster site. Being 18 typically signifies that a person has reached adulthood and is likely to possess a better understanding of safety protocols, emergency procedures, and the overall operational responsibilities that come with the role.

Choosing a higher age limit, such as 21 or 25, might unnecessarily limit the pool of qualified candidates who could effectively manage the responsibilities of a site controller. Conversely, allowing those younger than 18 may raise concerns regarding their ability to manage safety and operational tasks effectively. Therefore, the minimum age of 18 strikes a balance between having mature individuals in this critical position while still allowing enough potential candidates to apply.
