I’m not a fan of pain, or even death, which is why I prefer to avoid amusement parks and more specifically, their rides. As a kid I loved riding roller-coasters and basically everything else you could find in an amusement park, but, now things are a bit different and my fear of these aging mechanical contraptions is getting stronger. I thank the most comprehensive and (extremely) detailed database/web-blog of amusement park ride accident reports and news on the internet, RideAccidents.com for confirming my suspicions of these things. RideAccidents.com is a site that features detailed reports on amusement park and carnival ride accidents from around the world, including photographs and even court documents in some cases. While not affiliated with any government agents or consumer advocacy group, rideaccidents.com is certainly doing right by tracking the performance of an industry in a level-headed and informative fashion while not cashing into the morbidity of it all.
