Recently, an injury report for this year’s second quarter was released. Between April and June of this year, SeaWorld Orlando reported two injuries, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay reported one, Universal Orlando Resort reported two, and Legoland Orlando reported none. All in all, that’s five different injuries between the four theme parks.

Walt Disney World, however, reported six different injuries, one of which may have possibly resulted in the death of one Guest.
