Why It Matters

Six Flags Over Georgia is a theme park located about 24 km northwest of Atlanta. The park has had prior safety incidents, including lawsuits related to roller coaster injuries. Last month, Six Flags Magic Mountain announced the retirement of its X2 roller coaster amid lawsuits alleging serious brain injury. Six Flags recently settled a wrongful-death lawsuit from the family of a 22-year-old man who died after riding a coaster in 2022, and three more lawsuits alleging traumatic brain injuries were filed last week. Last year, a 32-year-old man died after riding a high-speed roller coaster at Universal Epic Universe in Florida from blunt impact injuries, ruled accidental.
