4 Sep
Summary
- A wrongful death lawsuit targets Six Flags over a fatal rollercoaster incident.
- The trial begins September 8, with jury selection on September 14.
- Two other women suffered brain injuries on the same ride in July 2026.
A significant wrongful death lawsuit has been filed against Six Flags, impacting Travis Kelce's substantial investment in the company. The trial is scheduled to start on September 8 at the LA County Superior Court, with jury selection commencing on September 14.
The case centers on the death of 22-year-old Christopher in 2022, who collapsed hours after riding the X2 rollercoaster. His death was ruled an accident caused by blunt head trauma sustained on the ride.
Christopher's mother is seeking accountability and awareness, stating, "We want the rides shut down... It's definitely about accountability and [bringing] awareness to what happened."
Adding to the concerns, two other women sustained brain injuries on the X2 ride in July 2026. The infamous X2 ride has been temporarily closed as both women continue their treatment.
Travis Kelce joined Six Flags as a brand ambassador and investor last year, acquiring a 9% stake valued at approximately $200 million. He has not commented on the company's legal issues, focusing instead on his upcoming football season.
