How many death creds do you have?

Joey said:
Why are there so many accidents at Disney Parks? Or is it just proportional to their guest numbers?

You can add mission space, and ToT to your list as I bet you done them?
 
^I haven't ridden Mission Space & I couldn't find where anyone died on Tower Of Terror. A girl lost consciousness & collapsed after riding it in 2005, but that's all I could find. She lost her heart function & Disney medical personnel revived her before she was transported to a local hospital.
 
Just realized I have Thunder Mountain, Gwazi, Matterhorn, Rock 'N' Rollercoaster, as well as Ride of Steel at Darien lake. Also, Mission space isn't a cred so I won't count it but I have done it.
 
Pretty sure that there have been deaths at Blackpool too on either/both Grand National and Wild Mouse. Though you're going back a long way and it could have been urban myths.
 
Ok, so by going with ECGs list I got 6 death creds in total! :shock: I know most of the cases are due to things like guests passing restricted areas (Katun) or because of heart disorders (Black Mamba), but it's still pretty scary..
 
The only death credit worth mentioning:

(October 6, 2010) - At Disneyland Paris, a 53-year-old man suffered fatal injuries while he was cleaning the park's "It's a Small World" attraction. Apparently, the ride was accidentally started while the man was still working, and he became trapped underneath a boat. He was taken by helicopter to a hospital, where he died from his injuries.

Not a death cred.
Roller coaster car derails, crashes to pavement; 4 injured
(Friday, July 4, 2008) - At Tivoli Friheden in Aarhus, Denmark, four people were injured in an accident on the Cobra, an inverted roller coaster. A park official reported that the first car detached from the train and fell to the pavement underneath the ride. The victims were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
The Cobra is a new ride that opened in June. It reaches a maximum height of 70 feet and a top speed of 40 miles per hour.
The ride has been shut down while investigators determine what caused the accident. Early reports indicate that a broken axle may be to blame.

Park Statement:
Cobra operation indefinitely suspended due to accident
Last night, Friday, shortly before the close of business at 11:00pm, there was a serious accident involving the park's new roller coaster, Cobra. The front car of the train, in which two passengers were sitting, fell from the other cars down to the pavement. In total, four people were injured in the accident. The passengers have injuries and fractures and information from authorities indicates that no one will have any lasting physical injuries.
The cause of the accident has not yet been determined. Technological Institute, in cooperation with police and Tivoli Frehedens technicians, are working to find the cause for this deeply unfortunate incident. It is clear however, that there was a mechanical problem and not a human error. Cobra is now closed and it is unclear what to do with the ride in the future.
Tivoli Frehedens is open as usual to the public.

What happened on Excalibur at Camelot? I remember a little kid fell out, but he didn't die...

You are correct sir. An old fart's memory is not to be trusted & I've corrected my list.

Don't just go by my list because there were a few at Disney in Paris & other European parks that I haven't been to that I'm sure many of you have ridden.
 
^^ & ^ that's why I said not to go by my list, as I didn't get the Primeval Whirl cred due to maintenance when we were at Animal Kingdom. :wink:

Not that I'm disputing you, but how do you know this?

There are no footnotes for those entries (on the wiki page), nor do we or rideaccidents.com have any entries for those years (that are covered extensively) & I also searched the Associated Press archives (one of the benefits of working there for over 25 years).
