My dad went to six flags and almost got killed from a subdural hematoma and the doctors had to do emergency brain surgery to fix him and six flags is not taking care of things, please everyone on you tube make this video featured to let everyone know of the dangers and to get six flags to take care of my dad. He could not go to his follow up neurology appointment because six flags is not paying any thing yet. Lets change that and help my dad. And if any of you know anyone big with six flags please let them know about this and tell everyone you know about this. Please help my dad he can not work anymore as you can tell in the videos and he is trying to figure out how to pay his bills, six flags should be taking this stress off of him during this. He has already had his neurosurgeon and his neurologist tell him it was caused by six flags, they need to take care of what they did

Here is a page that explains it in simple terms:
http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/roller.html
you can also read up on a report in an issue of Neurology (January 11, 2000)

  • I'm sorry for your father's injuries, but there is no way you can provide proof that six flags caused your father's condition. I'm sure thousands of other people rode the same rides your father did that day and they aren't after six flags to pay for their medical bills. I hope your dad is better, but I'd say people should just either be careful or not ride these rides if they're uncertain about the status of their health.

  • More than thousands ride it without a subdural hematoma, but it does happen and the journal of neurology did a study in the Jan 11 2000 issue about SDH caused by roller coasters even in perfect health, there was even a case with a jet fighter pilot, this info blows my mind. And yes, dad is getting better day by day, the thing that eats him up the most right now is not being able to talk strait all the time because this caused a partial stroke and he is now having vocal seizures

  • 8/14/2001 - Titan

    I was riding the Titan for the third time, as we entered the final horizontal loops I started to black out. My eyes felt like they were blacking over, and as soon as we were out of the spin I was back to normal. I am a paramedic and I just wanted to warn others to be causious of the intense G Forces. It was an interesting experience and I will ride again.

  • @TheThundercoaster, pound sand faggot!

  • I bet it was the Titan. It made me black out.

  • i know i wa rideing the cobra and all during the ride it kep hiting my head after i was very diizy

  • things just happend. im sorry for what happened. if you don't mind me asking how old is your dad? on high g force rollercoasters it is reccomended for younger people like id say 12-35. i dont think six flags should be sued for it or any kind of trouble but i do think an age reccomedation should under the warnings list.

  • @acquaz10 No i'm not lying. I'm not sure if it was correct ,but it said it reached 6.7. And who are you to be going around calling people liar's? You don't know if I knew it was not true or not. And i did not. So before you make an incorrect statement and judge people without asking them first. Okay?

  • @redalerty100 this guy is just trollin'. you're taking the risk by riding the ride, how is it their fault?

  • @TheThundercoaster thats a lie

  • @semajhs there is one coaster that reaches 6.7 g's.
