Deaths on the PeopleMover: In August 1967, 17-year-old Ricky Lee Yama was killed while jumping between two moving PeopleMover cars as the ride was passing through a tunnel. As he jumped, he lost his balance and fell onto the track, where an oncoming train crushed him and dragged his body a few hundred feet. The attraction had only been open for one month at the time and much of the staff hadn’t been properly trained on it. 13 years later, an 18-year-old man was crushed and killed by the PeopleMover, again, after he fell while jumping between moving cars.

<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.
