Well, ask yourself how often does a death happen against the volume of people who use the ride.

@guerrilla It's extremely rare. That's not going to matter to the teenager's parents though. A child is dead because of a thrill.

@RocktheHouse Do you drive? Are you going to stop driving because you may get in an accident and get killed?

@DCarey Point well taken.
