I came across an interesting tidbit recently about the construction and maintenance of the rides at the Disney Parks.  An expert in the field stated that Disney never compromises on maintenance since safety is their primary concern, and their program is the best in the industry.

It seems that they have stricter parameters for construction as well, often specifying stronger and thicker dimensions for structural parts than those suggested by the manufacturers. 

There are always risks with mechanical devices, and given the hundreds of millions of individual ride experiences annually at Disney destinations, the safety record is quite amazing.  We take a far greater chance driving our cars to the airport or getting on a plane, than boarding Mission:Space for a ride to the stars!
