According to wikipedia, Everest is no where near the most dangerous. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-thousander http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-thousander
Of 14 8km+ summits, it appears that Everest's death rate is only 5.7%, while Annapurna leads at 42.85% (!)
This weighs against the commercialization of Everest trend theory, I think.
