I don't know if wild animals kill more people in national parks than anywhere else, but I do know that people are very very rarely killed by wild animals in national parks.
More people die in national parks from drowning, falling, car accidents and the like than die from animal attacks.
While I don't doubt that some assholes cause trouble at national parks, just like everywhere else, the national parks I've visited are well-run and monitored by the rangers from the national park service and almost every visitor I've encountered at one is respectful of the environment.
Anyway, to me, it's better to have designated national parks where people can spend time in natural habitats than it would be to have sport hunters and developers killing off the animals and other life forms on the same land.
