Yeah, I was definitely shocked by the number. I had no idea there were so many. I actually read the book Behind The Mouse which says that there weren't deaths at Disney because they waited until people were off property to declare them dead. This book said that was just a myth.

I was also shocked by the number and severity of injuries on Space Mountain, which we now consider a baby coaster (and one of my favorite rides) compared to the other stuff that's out there.
