The latest CPSC report on Amusement Ride-Related Injuries and Deaths did not make big news this year.

 report on Amusement Amusement is the state of experiencing humorous and usually entertaining events or situations, and is associated with enjoyment, happiness, laughter and pleasure. Amusement may also be experienced through the recollection of events which have given rise to amusement in the past.  Ride-Related Injuries and Deaths did not make big news this year. One of the reasons is that when the report was released, CPSC did not even issue a news release. Another is that in 2001, a hospital that previously had reported to NEISS NEISS National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (US CPSC) , CPSC's injury reporting arm, left the system. Since it is located close to a fixed-site amusement park amusement park, a commercially operated park offering various forms of entertainment, such as arcade games, carousels, roller coasters, and performers, as well as food, drink, and souvenirs. , it had accounted for a large share of fixed-site injury reports. With that hospital out of the system, there has been a drop in the estimated number of amusement park ride injuries.
