California’s Six Flags Magic Mountain is facing lawsuits from three people who alleged they suffered “catastrophic brain damage” after riding the X2 rollercoaster.
More than 100 other people also claimed that they experienced traumatic brain injuries from the attraction at the Valencia amusement park, according to the law firm representing the plaintiffs.
“These people went to Magic Mountain for some entertainment. For some family fun. And they suffered catastrophic brain damage,” Gary Dordick, an attorney, said during a press conference on Tuesday.
More than 300 people contacted Dordick’s firm to report injuries, he said. Attorney Christopher Bulone said that experts have said the ride was built to be more dangerous than others, and it has more variables and forces.
“It’s the design of this ride that makes it inherently dangerous and makes it dangerous in a way that no reasonable rider would expect,” he said. “Time after time innocent people are coming off the ride with permanent brain damage.”
Cost:risk analysis says regardless of settlement or dispensation, they made enough to make it worth it.
