Originally Posted By SFH While I'll never excuse negligence, when you consider how many billions of people have visited or worked at major theme parks like the Disney, Universal, and Sea World over the years, the number of accidents involving design or operational problems is very small. Of course, none of that makes a difference to the loved ones of the few people who have been killed. To them, everything changed. Whatever happens, I hope it actually improves safety rather than just causing more difficulties... but it is impossible to avoid risk entirely. (You can be assured of never being in a car accident if you live on an island where there are no cars.)
