Like your roller coasters? Representative Ed Markey wants to protect you from the horrible brain injuries you could sustain on the rides. He's concerned about your children, and knows better than you what kind of physical activity you should participate in. His latest report indicates that more than half of his "injury inventory" is from unpublished incidents (i.e., no proof or research). So even though your chance of dying on an amusement ride is 0.0000002% (according to IAAPA), Markey would again like to dictate guidelines to keep you safe.
