When I was in my late teens, I ended up on a boat from Ft Lauderdale to the Bahamas. Theres no way no to go through just a little bit of the Burmuda Triangle. I remember freaking out / being super excited, wondering what crazy stuff things would happen on our journey. Of course, nothing happened. I was so disillusioned.
The triangle is HUGE, and due to where it covers, a lot of shipping went through it, and still does iirc… Saying its dangerous because ships wrecked there often isn’t that far off from calling Earth dangerous since every human has died there. It’s a true statement, I suppose, but the context helps understand it’s not a very reasonable one.
My understanding is there’s a lot of coral reefs in the Bermuda triangle and, like you say a lot of shipping with through there. So it makes sense a lot of ships went missing in that area.
Sailors are a superstitious lot so there were stories about it being cursed. Kinda like how it’s bad luck to carry bananas on a sailboat.
I remember freaking out when the last season of Friends aired - what, there are people vacationing in Bermuda? Are they insane? I was in my late teens

Dude I would have shat my pants.
Truth be told I would still shit my pants.
That’s the true danger of the Bermuda Triangle.
Nah. Seasickness doesnt make you shit your pants. Depending on who you are, you may pee yourself a little, though.
By now, satellites and GPS can just navigate us around the triangle, kind of like with hurricanes.

Crew of Soyuz 11: “Well, screw you too!”
Haha, I was worried there were some obscure deaths I didn’t know about.
