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?
