Why are they so many incidents/accidents in Disney Parks compare to rival company Universal Studios?

Why are they are so many accidents in Disney Parks compare to the Universal parks? LAst time i checked Universal Studios was low compare to that. Was it because Disneyland attracts more people or something even though most of their rides are not as hardcore as universal studios? What are many reasons in your opinion?Why are they so many incidents/accidents in Disney Parks compare to rival company Universal Studios?
"So many"? You make it sound is if there are a lot. When you consider that over half a BILLION people have gone to Disneyland (not even counting DCA) since it opened, that's really not many at all. And the injury rates make sense when you consider that Disneyland has over 70 rides, and Universal only has 4 moving rides. All the rest are sit-down shows.



Most of the incidents at Disneyland involve guest misconduct or error, as well.



And people love to report on Disneyland. They are a big target.



As a passholder, I go about once a week to Disneyland. I and my family follow all safety rules, and the only time we have suffered an injury is when my youngest was sitting on a chain in a queue, and fell backwards. She got a bump, that's all. We feel very safe inside Disney parks.Why are they so many incidents/accidents in Disney Parks compare to rival company Universal Studios?
- The history of the strong competition between Universal Studios and The Walt Disney Company has been going on since the days of Walt Disney before Mickey Mouse and Woody Woodpecker - with The Disney Company being the obnoxious side in almost all instances.



In the 1920's, Walt Disney originally envisioned the character of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit as his company's mascot. However, due to double agents, the character ended up in Universal's hands, who marketed him as their own. The incident angered the Disney Company and resulted in Universal having to stray from using Oswald for years. As a result, Walt Disney had to abandon using Oswald as the Disney mascot, and instead created Mortimor Mouse (who would later become known as Mickey Mouse).Why are they so many incidents/accidents in Disney Parks compare to rival company Universal Studios?
I have never thought about it, but would have to say your speculation on the numbers of visitors has a lot to do with it. I have never been to either amusement park, so I do not know there relative sizes for sure, but I think Disney's Parks a larger than Universal Studios Parks.
