Comment on Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man?
WheeGeetheCat@sh.itjust.works 9 months agoHaha I don’t care so much about burning man as much as this method you have.
So by your math, Somewhere like disney with 50k visitors a day is still remarkably safe as long as less than 10 people a day die there?

I used to work in a casino where we would get 6k visitors a day on average and we had two to three deaths a year. Just because most clients don’t realize it happens doesn’t mean it doesn’t. Same for Disney, some people die on the premise, some people die when they’ve reached the hospital, but yes, when you have that many people coming every day that shit does happen. Considering its size, Disney has medical staff on the premise (heck, we had medical staff for the 1500 employees and our clients) and they might even had their own ambulance service so as to not have to wait to ship people to the hospital.

I like how you chose casino, establishments known to especially attract the 85+ cohort, which I didn’t even include in my 10 a day disney # to be nice.
Do you think 10 people a day die at a single disney park behind the scenes? You’re dying on this hill?

sorry but theme park accidents are fascinating to me.
You should really see the death numbers at the Six Flags parks though. Those places are like a god damn death trap for humans. It’s insane how many people get injured or just die on rides.

same, I assume you have heard of / watched the train wreck that was Action Park?

Fucking hell mate, I posted the stats, go check them, even people 35-44 are at 200 death/100k/year, 130 deaths for those 25-34, 70 deaths for those 15-24, do you think they’re all bedridden or something?

fucking hell mate, do you think selection bias is a fictional concept inapplicable to your calculations or are you going to continue to pretend that taking an entire countries population and comparing it to any sliver of the country 1:1 doesn’t fail basic representativeness analysis?
