X2 Roller Coaster Safety Crisis | Toronto News
Description
Six Flags Magic Mountain’s X2 roller coaster, the four-dimensional spinning thrill ride that hits 122 km/h, is under fire after two recent deaths and severe brain injuries tied to its violent accelerations. Doctors say the trauma matches violent accidents where the brain twists inside the skull — injuries requiring emergency surgery. This follows at least 70 prior complaints of head and neck trauma, including two fatalities over the past two decades. Despite Six Flags’ claims of regular safety testing and warnings about inherent risks, the park temporarily shut down the ride in July after these latest tragedies. Lawsuits are mounting as families demand accountability — raising urgent questions about whether this extreme ride is truly safe.
