*I am sorry (not really) to be posting about something a tad more glum then whatever fucking royal baby just got born into an easy, careless, elite life. But I have not decided yet if I give a shit enough about that to morph it into a reason you should give a shit, when in reality you shouldn't. But, depending on how my day is, I might think of something to spit out on the incredibly stupid obsession with the ordeal.
Statistically, there are no statistics. A recent Texas death caused by falling out of a roller coaster, has sprung up some interest in the subject. Only to find that we don't have an actual death-count. Which is pretty interesting, considering that seems to be all people give a shit about: death, terrorists and getting fat.
Smith (some twisted bastard researching how many times people die) said they don't "really" have a good system for catching not only theme-park deaths, but injuries as well for kids under the age of eighteen. The latter is a tad bit more understandable. But outside of media coverage of events like this that warrant interest, there is no number on how many people are dying out there on these overpriced death-traps.

And while 4,400 children are estimated to be hurt on said rides (currently no exact information on the time-frame of the count) there is no mirroring documentation on adults. To make matters worse, a full seventeen states have no agency responsible for inspecting amusement rides. Meaning that in said states, you have no real way of knowing if you're gonna go up, down, and loop-de-loop, or fall from one of the tallest wooden roller coasters into the morning headlines.
Don't worry too hard, there is some good news. You have a 1 in 24 million chance of being seriously injured at a fixed-ride theme-park.

Personally I think all of you dare-devils blowing your money on a Russian-Roulette motorized Chinese-Dragon are fucking insane and that's a risk you're taking. Although I think it's pretty fucked up that they don't pay much care nor attention to the whole MIA-Death-List of something people should be safe with. But, hey, crazy actions can lead to crazy results.
DON'T FALL
-Arrrooo!
