It isn’t the most extreme rollercoaster in existence, like people seem to be implying. At a peak of 4 G’s, that’s in the median for a rollercoaster. Meaning, there’s nothing unusual about the G-forces of the X2 and nothing out of the ordinary was found about it. There are rollercoasters that go up to 6 G’s which aren’t causing people’s brains to explode.
Isn’t it more likely the deaths are coincidences? If 4 G’s was enough to cause fatal brain bleeds, then I’d assume stunt pilots, astronauts, and fighter pilots wouldn’t exist. And you can’t train your brain not to bleed.
What’s actually going on here? The ride was retired earlier today, as well, due to the pressure of the lawsuits: https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/six-flag-magic-mountain-x2-roller-coaster-closure/
I’m asking on Lemmy because when I tried to make an account and post on r/rollercoasters it got auto-modded, so fuck that.
Two deaths is a coincidence.
Three or more deaths is a pattern.
When you look at it from a scientific perspective, 4 G is average for a rollercoaster. And 4 G’s is not even close to being powerful enough to tear people’s brains apart. To say I’m skeptical these lawsuits are being 100% truthful would be an understatement. I’ve ridden the X2 plenty of times.
Please explain what part of “two deaths is a coincidence, three or more deaths is a pattern” you don’t understand.
