While many chemicals have the potential to be dangerous, the true risk depends on both the chemical’s hazard and the likelihood of exposure. This article explores how everyday chemicals can pose significant risks if not handled correctly and how even extremely hazardous substances can be relatively safe when managed properly.
Action Park, once known as the most dangerous theme park ever, operated from 1978 to 1996. Despite being widely known for its unsafe and often deadly rides, it was a popular destination for thrill-seekers. Several incidents occurred at the park, including six fatal accidents, numerous injuries, and lawsuits. The park’s most infamous ride was the Alpine Slide, which was responsible for one of the fatalities. The park’s owner, Gene Mulvihill, was charged with criminal conspiracy and other offenses related to the creation of a fictitious insurance company. Despite the park’s closure in 1996, it has been the subject of nostalgic media, including documentaries, books, and podcasts.
