URBAN LEGENDS : Death In A Funhouse	Date Added APR 2003
Every year as summer begins and amusement parks open, it becomes the season for the re-emergence of the annual legends about deadly dangers in funhouses, tunnels of love and carnival rides. True, accidents do happen and occasionally some pretty bizarre ones. But amusement park mishaps couldn't possibly occur at the rate that folklore suggests, or else no insurance companies would issue liability coverage and very few parks would survive. Another clue that we are dealing with legends is that so many alleged accidents at such a large number of parks all supposedly stem from the same few hazards - electrocution, razor blades and especially snakes. The story usually goes that a small child on a popular ride complains about stings or bites. At first, the parents laugh, but eventually they investigate. The cause proves to be an infestation of poisonous snakes. First aid is provided too late to save the child.
