as an avid roller coaster rider, I keep abreast of these kinds of accidents more like a running tab in my head. The last one I specifically know of was a death at Magic Mountain in Valencia CA and Skogafoss and I happened to be there. An operator crossed the tracks where she should not have and was struck and killed. We still haven't rode that coaster for one reason or another.
There isn't any real way of finding out what the accident rates are since they aren't published or aggregated. Of course a website steps up and puts it together.
