Maybe for the activity, but otherwise no. Twice as many people attend Disney World each day as go to burning man. Deaths are so rare (even from heart attack) there is a wikipedia of incidents. I realize the parks are not open 24 hours, but given the age distribution I wouldn't expect a death without the unusual conditions and recreational drugs. Even sporting events, which are the same size and have lots of alcohol, rarely have deaths.

> Twice as many people attend Disney World each day as go to burning man. Deaths are so rare (even from heart attack) there is a wikipedia of incidents. Burning Man or Disney World? There's self-selection at both (and at sporting events), but also other factors: folks leave WDW or a football game after X hours and go home, or can easily leave WDW or a football game if they're feeling unwell. Not as true at Burning Man. So, how many folks die on the same day they go to a football game? What is the rate of death of attendees of football games? Obviously, there will be factors other than "attended football game", but if we're going to compare deaths _at_ sporting events or _at_ a theme part, we should try our best to make it apples to apples. Or rather, how many people die 1/ 7/ 30 days after attending Burning Man, compared to their age cohort?
