Answer 7

Let's get one thing clear : Roller coasters are statistically very, very, very safe. Think about it: Out of the millions of people that ride the thousands of rides every year, there are only a small handful of incidents. You are statistically more likely to be involved in an accident driving to the park than having an accident on a ride. Fact.

Reputable theme parks check all of their rides daily. The coaster track is "walked" and inspected as are all the other important elements, such as winch cables and chains. One slight imperfection could cause an accident, and no theme park wants that to happen. Strict Health & Safety governing bodies also have the power to close a ride, or park, if they are considered unsafe.

Having said all that, accidents still happen...

1. http://www.rideaccidents.com/ -- This website is amazing and is always up to date when it comes to a topic like this. It has catagories for different types of accidents, news archives, pictures, everything. I would recomend this site the most if you're interested in looking up accidents at amusement parks.

2. http://www.coasterforce.com/Accidents -- It's a good section site for accidents, doesn't really provide up to date info, but has some unique info.

3. http://www.themeparkinsider.com/accident... -- Mostly verified accidents, but doesn't have to much info.

Hope that helped! :)
