What is the average amount of people that go to the hajj?
As Hajj is a 5 day period each year and it consists of the pilgrimage to Mecca, and it is not a physical place but an action, the amount is virtually unlimited. How many people attend to Hajj is hard to count because Masjid al-Haram, the building around Kaaba, has capacity of 0.9 million people, but it is expanded up to 4 million people during Hajj. Wikipedia says Hajj has around 3 million people attending each year.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hajj#cite_ref-5

What are the risks of going to Mecca on the hajj?
The risk of going to Mecca during Hajj is many but here are few to mention: 1. Overcrowding due to the number of people who visit during the Hajj 2. Viruses: Southwest Saudi Arabia, for example, recorded hundreds of mosquito-borne Rift Valley fever cases in 2000-01, and precautions were taken to protect Hajj worshipers. So watch out. 3. Crowd Control: Hajj has a history of crowd control issues in which stampedes have killed hundreds of people. The worst incident occurred in 1990 when 1,426 pilgrims were killed in a stampede inside the Al-Ma'aisim tunnel. About 250 died during the stoning of the devil ritual at Jamarat Bridge in Mina in 2004 and 346 in 2006. The ritual, which re-enacts Abraham's encounter with the devil and Gabriel's command to "pelt" him, allows pilgrims to throw pebbles at three walls called Jamarat from the bridge or the ground. 4. Swine Flu: Recently the swine flu has posed significant challenges for Saudi Arabia, which in an exercise of extreme caution banned the elderly and children from the 2009 Hajj. Yet numbers are not likely significantly reduced to prevent crowd or health issues.
