Carowinds roller coaster/ride question?

Question

I love riding rides and getting on roller coasters

But i was just wondering

how likely is it for a ride/roller coaster to break down causing injury or death?

Answer 1

Carowinds is a super-safe park. It's my home park and I've been there at least 50 times. The chance of getting hurt are 1 in one billion, you are more likely to get hurt in a car. Most accidents occur A. because someone was not following the directions (such standing up in a log flume) B. the park was not properly inspected (this almost never happens, especially not at a Cedar Fair park, Carowinds belongs to them) or C. person rode and had a pre-existing condition (such as a heart murmur.)
