# If not then that's more through luck
Sadly fun though Blackpool's rides are most of them are utter deathtraps, lad killed a year or so ago on the Space Invader, too many lateral Gs and a crap harness meant he was flung out.

# I'm sorry
but to say that most of the rides are deathtraps is utter bollocks. I can remember two or three accidents in the last 30 years - not bad when you consider it's the most popular tourist attraction in Europe.

# Ok, 'deathtrap' might be a little too emotive
I'd like to think that I've done an above average number of white-knuckle rides in my time, and on virtually all I felt safe. The Blackpool ones I felt that the park could've put some effort in, like the Max using poorly fitting car seatbelts instead of drop-down harnesses.

# Meh
I'm not going to argue, suffice to say I've never really felt in any kind of danger on the rides there, but sod it, maybe that's just me.
