The author infers that riding a roller coaster is safer than riding in a car. Which piece of evidence from the text best supports this inference? A Statistics show that, of the nearly 35 million visitors to amusement parks each year, 6500 of them report injuries. B In fact, the chances of being fatally injured from riding a roller coaster are 1 in 1.5 billion. To give perspective, the chances of being fatally injured in a car crash are 15 in 10,000. C Studies also show that the injuries reported from roller coasters have declined steadily since 2001. D To ensure rider safety, parks inspect the coasters daily and post signs to prohibit certain people from riding. For example, there are height and weight requirements to ensure that the safety restraints will fit properly on the rider.
