Six Flags Rollercoaster Brain Injury & Surgery Emergency: What Happened?

Six Flags has closed the X2 rollercoaster at Magic Mountain following two incidents where women required emergency brain surgery for hemorrhages. Since opening in 2002, the extreme ride has been linked to two deaths and over a dozen serious injuries, including riders who suffered permanent disabilities or fell into comas. The closure occurred in July after these latest accidents, bringing renewed attention to the history of injuries and the inherent risks associated with extreme thrill rides.
