Six Flags Shuts Down X2 After Brain Injury Claims
💡 Why it matters
The closure could lead to stricter safety regulations for high-G-force amusement rides and set a precedent for liability in theme park injuries.
Six Flags permanently closed its X2 rollercoaster at Magic Mountain in California after more than 100 riders alleged brain injuries. The ride, which reaches 76mph and has rotating seats, had been closed since mid-July.
