Six Flags shuts down X2 rollercoaster after hundreds allege brain injuries

The announcement comes after multiple lawsuits alleged that hundreds of riders suffered brain injuries from X2, a ride with seats that spin 360 degrees.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on Six Flags shutting down the X2 rollercoaster and link the move to allegations of brain injuries. The BBC says the announcement follows multiple lawsuits alleging hundreds of riders were injured, while The Guardian US says more than 100 people have said they were injured and alone describes the shutdown as permanent and the ride as “embattled.”
