1966 Grad Nite Death: Disney’s annual Grad Nite in June 1966 turned tragic when 19-year-old Thomas Guy Cleveland was killed trying sneak into the park by climbing onto the monorail track. Despite a security officer trying to warn him off, the man crossed the track, jumped onto a canopy beneath it and was struck by the train. Cleveland's body was dragged 30 to 40 feet down the track. The security guard in question later stated he had to "hose the kid off the underside."

<sarcasm>OMG we need to shut down the parks!</sarcasm>
Seriously though I am surprised deaths don't happen more often. The Walt Disney parks had 132,549,000 visitors just in 2013. So just in that year alone the average was more than 37 thousand people per day.
I'll bet you it is statistically safer to play and have fun inside their parks than the trip flying or driving there.
