Over 100 people suffered brain injuries on X2 rollercoaster at Six Flags, lawyers for victims say

Key Points:

• Three individuals have filed lawsuits against Six Flags Magic Mountain and roller coaster manufacturer S&S Worldwide, claiming they suffered catastrophic brain injuries while riding the X2 roller coaster.
• Lawyers state that over 100 riders have experienced brain injuries on the X2 in the past two years, describing the ride as inherently dangerous due to its design and intense spinning seats.
• Specific cases include Pamela Guillen, who required skull surgery and was unconscious for two weeks after her injury, Naomi Greer-Wilkinson, who remains bedridden and barely conscious following multiple brain surgeries, and lawyer Michael Wilk, who suffers lasting cognitive impairments after his injury.
• The lawsuits allege Six Flags continued operating the ride without adequately investigating or warning riders after initial injuries occurred; the X2 has been closed since July 12.
• The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages for their injuries, highlighting concerns over the safety of the X2 roller coaster and the amusement park’s response to reported incidents.
