Some of the criteria for a varience that I was talking about does require you to make sure that no matter where you are at in the building, you have to be with in 50 feet of an emergency exit. The exit must have an exit sign with battery back up lighting. So, is it reckless and irresponsable to not have a sprinkler system when at any given time the customers are 50' away from an exit? Keep in mind that everything in the haunt is flame retardant, and there is a fire alarm that will turn off all effects, and music, and then make an announcement to evacuate the building, before they begin their journey of 50 feet. In my opinion this is far safer than some of the haunts that I have been to that have sprinkler systems and hardly any exits, at least from what I can see. Sprinkler systems are a mechanical device and can fail. I also think that in a panic, customers could stampede trying to find these illusive exits.
I am confident that the inspector and official having jurisdiction are competant enough to determine if a haunt is safe. In fact, I think that they go over board. I also don't believe that the hall monitors of Hauntworld can make a better determination on an attraction that they haven't seen.
Seriously, us small town folk have it covered.
