How many people does this ride handle daily? 12,000? (guesstimate of 12 hours of operation and 1000/hour - I could be way off, but based on a 4 minute ride with 160 on it at a time, that would be an absolute max of 2400/hour, but I doubt that happens.).

That would be 4,380,000 annually. There are now two deaths supposedly attributable to this ride working completely as designed, and it has been open abot 2.5 years. That would mean there have been about 11 million riders since it opened (granted many are repeaters).

2 out of 11 million? Those were not from accidents on the ride itself. I would figure if the ride was too stressful (2 g's is not much to endure), there would be a lot more of this kind of thing.

Edited to add:
My dad lives about an hour from WDW. He's had two heart attacks and a quad bipass. Still rides it and loves it. I would throw in a comment a tasteless comment right now, but it would be, well, tasteless.
