More than 100 riders allege Six Flags coaster caused brain injuries
More than 100 people have alleged that Six Flags’ X2 roller coaster in Southern California caused serious brain injuries, prompting lawyers to file three lawsuits. The claims follow reports involving two women who suffered traumatic brain injuries after riding the attraction, including one who remains in a coma; the allegations have renewed scrutiny of the ride’s safety.
The X2 can reach nearly 80mph while rotating riders’ seats through 360 degrees, and has been closed since 12 July without an explanation from Six Flags. Lawyers say they have heard from hundreds of additional riders, while the ride has also been linked to previous injuries, hospitalisations and the 2022 death of a 22-year-old man; the claims remain allegations and are subject to legal proceedings.
