  So as long as Event Organisers stay below the average mortality rate, they hold no liability? They are doing fine?

    OP: One person died! It’s a tragedy!

    Turns out that’s a better mortality rate than outside the event, not much of a tragedy, more of them would have died if they hadn’t went to the event!

      Outside the event includes people in their 90s dying of old age in hospitals

      Generally the demographic that attends burning man skews younger which is inherently less likely to die

        I included a link to the real stats and just with people up to their 40s the mortality rate is high enough that you would expect more people to die during that week.

      It’s a much higher mortality rate than the average event. More people died at this event then most events.

        One event with 70k in attendance lasting a whole week with the same people in attendance all week and they can’t leave. There aren’t many events that can be compared to it and the fact that it takes place during an event doesn’t matter for this comparison as we’re trying to see how many of these people would have died if the event hadn’t taken place at all.

        Heck it could be considered good for the organizers, they should have had many deaths by that point considering the average mortality rate of the people present, they only had one!
