How can a rider that's riding it for the first time possibly be anything other than unprepared for that?
One of the people in a coma is a kid (age unspecified), so if there's kids being injured and 70+ other cases of injury identified in their records, chances are it definitely is rough enough to cause issues even in people without a "previous condition" (previous condition: intact blood vessels in brain?).
If the park knew of previous grievous injuries and did nothing to remediate future ones, they're likely liable - especially if they did not publicise the known risks clearly to future riders.
Not defending six flags here, for sure they should have taken action, no idea how long it was in that state
Fair enough, I must have misread because for me it reads like the ride isn't anything unusual and the victims are somehow riding it wrong or ignoring advisories and riding in ill health.
