Key Questions Answered
Multiple riders suffered serious traumatic brain injuries, including severe subdural hematomas and brain hemorrhages that required emergency brain surgery, after riding the X2 rollercoaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain.
The X2 rollercoaster has been closed to the public since mid-July while the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health investigates the ride following the injury reports.
The lawsuits claim that the ride's extreme forces, rapid acceleration, deceleration, speeds reaching up to 76 mph, and seats that rotate 360 degrees independently create unexpected risks that led to serious injuries.
