I was watching the TV show earlier today and had the same thought, and it applies even moreso to the movie. The firearms in Westworld can't harm humans, but those aren't the only weapons available; obviously, Medieval World and Roman World would use many bladed or blunt weapons, such as swords/knives/maces, and also more primitive projectile weapons such as bows/crossbows. Also, what about poison? In the movie, the "queen" was a guest in Medieval World and was seen dead on her throne with no apparent injuries (as was the Black Knight, who was a host, so I'm not quite sure about that). What if someone tried to poison the queen, not knowing she was a real person?
There are many loopholes, but I guess we just have to pretend that somehow the park has covered their bases and can prevent injuries from happening. You saw how Alan Oppenheimer's character reacted to a guest getting a simple snake bite ("this is inexcusable!"), so obviously nothing like that had happened in the past.
I have no enemies, but am intensely disliked by my friends.
