    To be fair, your odds of being seriously injured in a car are insanely higher that an amusement park ride. The odds of serious injury on an amusement park ride are crazy low.

      Unfair comparison. Put as many people in amusement park rides as there are in cars any given day and you’d see those numbers skew towards something a bit more realistic.

        Someone did go to the hospital, but my main point is that rides at these rides are very very safe, and waking up and driving to work is much more dangerous than a ride at a Six Flags.

          Okay, but I don’t want to be safely stuck upside-down either. I get that a car is more likely to kill me, but I generally drive somewhere for a purpose as well.
