Incidents at Universal parks (fictional)

 * Caused by negligence on the part of the guest. This can be refusal to follow specific ride safety instructions, or deliberate intent to violate park rules.
 * The result of a guest's known, or unknown, health issues.
 * Negligence on the part of the park, either by ride operator or maintenance.
 * Act of God or a generic accident (e.g. slipping and falling), that is not a direct result of an action on anybody's part.
