The verdict

SeaWorld runs at 213% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Theme Park workplace, earning a grade F.

SeaWorld: 6.6 TCR = 213% of Theme Park BLS 3.1 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

SeaWorld safety composite

SeaWorld scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 33%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
