Timeline: If You Kept Riding A Roller Coaster

According to the statistics, you are far more likely to die by lightning strike than in a roller coaster accident. In the UK, the chances of being killed on an amusement ride are 300 million to one, whereas the chances of being killed by lightning are 10 million to one. In the US, around 1.7 billion rides are taken by nearly 300 million people each year, and from 1994 to 2004, the country reported an average of just four deaths per year. Which is again lower than death by lightning strike. Thanks to safety regulations and industry compliance, roller coasters manage to maintain a fairly sound safety record despite pushing the human body to exhilarating extremes.
