Mister Coaster, I think that warrrreagl means that everything is dangerous, not just amusement parks. Like crossing the street. Or riding in a car.

I don't have any direct knowledge of S&S Power's loss history, but as a class of business thrill rides as a whole experience about 2 fatalities and 10 major injuries a year.

Interestingly enough, a reinsurance friend of mine called since I last posted, and he's working on roller coaster manufacturer that he and I wrote together and lost a couple of years ago. We discussed this occurrence, and that's where the numbers above came from.
