Safety First
Title Pun: Safety Last
Simpsons Episode: The Simpsons Ride
Synopsis: Itchy and Scratchy show guests what can happen to them if they do not follow ride rules as a female voiceover goes over several safety tips before boarding the ride, as 'legally required' introduced by Sideshow Bob. Scratchy is ready to run into the ride room when Itchy nails his tail to the floor, causing his skin to be ripped off. The voiceover wants riders to walk (not run) when the doors open. Itchy and Scratchy place their loose articles against the ride room walls (all fragile items must be leaned against the wall and loose items must be carried safely), and Scratchy bangs his head while trying to enter the vehicle (he should have taken his seat and watched his head while entering), followed by Itchy banging him with a mallet. Scratchy then pulls down his lap bar, and stresses too much that he rips off the lap bar - and loses his head which made the dogs (as Krusty's Krew Member) angry, while Itchy gently pulls down his lap bar (that's part of the safety once the riders are seated). Scratchy puts his arm around his girlfriend and his hand gets close to Itchy. Annoyed, Itchy then pulls Scratchy's arm outside and around the ride vehicle and closes the doors causing Scratchy's arm to be sliced off (riders must remain seated and keep their arms and legs inside at all times). Scratchy then begins to use photography on the ride, causing multiple giant missiles to be shot at him since there would be no still or motion photography of any kind allowed, destroying his camera and burning off his skin. Itchy then safely puts his camera in his pocket. The episode ends with the voiceover saying, "Thanks for your attention. Enjoy the ride!" and a list of the safety reminders that the riders should remember.

Famous quotes containing the word safety:
“Love no man in good earnest, nor no further in sport
neither, than with safety of a pure blush thou mayst in
honor come off again.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Can we not teach children, even as we protect them from victimization, that for them to become victimizers constitutes the greatest peril of all, specifically the sacrifice—physical or psychological—of the well-being of other people? And that destroying the life or safety of other people, through teasing, bullying, hitting or otherwise, “putting them down,” is as destructive to themselves as to their victims.”
—Lewis P. Lipsitt (20th century)
