Roller Coaster Injury Statistics in the US

According to data from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA), roller coaster injuries in the United States averaged around 1,000 per year between 1990 and 2013. While the number fluctuates annually, this benchmark highlights the relatively low risk compared to the hundreds of millions of rides taken each year. Ongoing safety improvements and rigorous inspection protocols continue to enhance rider protection.
