And this is why I will NOT ever ride a roller coaster!

Roller coaster accidents are actually uncommon, but they are dramatic and sensationalized when they occur. I’ve been riding them since I was 5 years old and still love them 65 years later. In college I took a class called Technology and Public Policy. Most of my peer’s final projects were about weaponry or atomic energy or airline safety. Mine was on amusement park safety. The most dangerous ride in any amusement park is the carousel; kids and adults falling off horses or the still moving platform. That is what the CPSC had to say about it back in the 1980s.
