Interesting brief I ran across from a month ago. Someone was scared by an actor at fright fest, ran away, and in doing so they tripped and fell and later sued Six Flags because of the action. I can kind of see how this could be somewhat controversial but at the end of the day the decision to side with Six Flags seems reasonable (though I admittedly haven’t read the whole case).
I’m curious how everyone else feels. Do you think this is an inherent risk guests need to be aware or do you think Six Flags should have some responsibility?
Yea this is pretty much where I fall… Although I do believe that Six Flags runs their rides safe but would agree that they don’t properly maintain them for comfort/experience (same as most chain parks). But yea, I think the touching thing is the big differentiator… You were there to be scared and you were scared and your actions were what resulted in the fall.
