Mission:Space keeps getting the blame

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Life is full of risks, and we're far more likely to die on the freeway on the way to the park than from anything in the park itself. Seriously. I'm not just saying that. Everyone says that automatically and no one pays attention any more. Read it again. You are more likely to die on your commute to work. You are more likely to die in your bed. You will most probably not die from an amusement park ride. Hell, if you do die from a ride, you won the lottery, congratulations.

My boss came home the other day to find her husband dead on the couch. We don't know yet what he died of. It was totally unexpected. He was 57, and in perfectly good health.

What if he'd been to WDW the day before?

The death on Big Thunder was one of the scariest things ever, because it was something that truly could have been prevented, and could have killed ANYONE, not just those born with genetic problems. Remember how we all checked in online to make sure everyone we knew was ok? I had chills for weeks, and still have chills thinking about it, even though the odds were so tiny that it was someone we knew.

If I went on a theme park ride and died of a heart condition that I was unaware I had, it wouldn't be the park's fault, or even my fault. It's fate.

I can accept that without fear.
