The Ferris wheel doesn't go 2.5 miles deep underwater though. And you can sit there and watch successful trips on the Ferris wheel before you decide to risk it.
I mean all of the previous trips were successful by most measures...
Also plenty of people do watersports and other excursions with very sketchy tourist companies signing away stuff on all sorts of waivers. Some of these activities are not only dangerous but incredibly expensive as well.
All of the previous trips didn't get everybody killed, but most weren't "successful". They had tons of issues like regular power loss and communication outages, and many of the trips never even made it to the Titanic.
