Six Flags Shuts Down X2 Rollercoaster After More Than 100 Alleged Brain Injuries
Six Flags has shut down its X2 rollercoaster after more than 100 riders allegedly reported brain injuries, according to the available information. The ride has seats that spin 360 degrees, a feature highlighted in reports about the alleged injuries.
The claims involve more than 100 people, while the available description refers to hundreds of riders allegedly being injured on X2. The information does not provide details about when the alleged injuries occurred, the nature or severity of the reported injuries, or whether the claims have been independently verified.
X2 is identified as a rollercoaster operated by Six Flags. Its rotating seats are a central feature of the ride and allow riders to spin through the experience rather than remaining fixed in one position.
Six Flags’ decision to shut down the ride follows the allegations. No further information is available at this time about the duration of the shutdown, any investigation, or what steps may be taken before the ride could reopen. The known facts are that X2 has been closed and that more than 100 riders have allegedly suffered brain injuries, with reports also describing the number of alleged injuries as reaching into the hundreds.
