After reading this site, I can safely say that I won’t be rushing out anytime soon to ride any carnival rides. Fairground Accidents apparently abound and the sense of danger is all too justified. Sadly, the victims are often children.
It takes a grim type of person to pull together this kind of information. I recall that John Marr of Murder Can Be Fun fame put together an issue titled “Death at Disneyland” several years ago – it’s worth tracking down if you are into this kind of stuff.
