12-year-old boy dies on Disney's Rock'n'Roller coaster

I think that is why I don't really feel any excitement on a roller coaster of any type. I don't feel any real risk of death or injury and going fast isn't thrilling on its own.

But yeah, the ability of most people to make reasonable risk assessments is pretty broken.

You know, now that you mention it, I always wondered why I thought it was weird when people, even grown men, scream like little girls on these rides. I understand the lack of risk, and could never figure out why they didn't.
