- The lawsuit claims a ride attendant failed to secure the boy's restraints.
- The incident occurred on Six Flags Great Adventure's Roaring Rapids ride.
An 8-year-old boy is suing Six Flags Great Adventure after allegedly suffering a broken arm on the Roaring Rapids water ride. The incident reportedly occurred on August 29, 2024, when the child was celebrating his birthday.
According to legal documents filed on his behalf, an attendant failed to properly fasten the boy's seatbelt and safety restraint. This alleged negligence led to him being violently thrown within the ride, resulting in a fractured ulna.
The lawsuit asserts that Six Flags is liable for the incident and seeks a jury trial for unspecified damages. The plaintiffs are also requesting details regarding ride attendants, safety procedures, and training dates.
Additionally, they demand the park admit or deny whether the seatbelt was unfastened and provide any relevant security footage or incident reports. This action follows other lawsuits against Six Flags, including those concerning injuries on the X2 roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain.
