  1. Well first of all, have a good time at Six Flags Magic Mountain, it is a very cool park, I'm sure you'll have fun.  There have been a few accidents resulting in minor injuries, but no deaths as far as I know.  I wouldn't worry about accidents as theme parks are 100% safe.  The chance of even being injured at a theme park is more than one in a billion.  Think about it, millions of people visit theme parks each year, but only about 50 accidents occur each year resulting in injuries or deaths.  Considering the amount of people, that is not much at all.  Most accidents are due to the person on the rides, not the rides themselves.

    You have a much higher chance of being killed or injured while you're driving there!


  2. not any , but there was a 2 deaths at six flags Georgia. a 11 year old girl fell to her death when a cable snapped and a 45 year old man had a heart attack on  the ride called "David and Goliath".  thats pretty much it  . be careful.

  3. 1 on Goliath and the rest of them were either peoples fault or a dumb worker walking on the track.

  4. These were all the accidents/deaths that occurred at Six Flags in California.

    Boomerang

    On August 24, 1999, 28 passengers were stranded on the Boomerang ride for several hours. The shuttle that pulled the train up an incline failed to release the train, and riders were rescued by firefighters in cherry pickers.

    Scat-a-bout

    On September 4, 1999 a boy was injured when he slipped below the restraining bar on the Scat-a-bout, a "scrambler"-type ride. The boy was thrown from the ride and landed in a nearby planter, receiving cuts on his legs. The park later stated that the accident was the result of the nine-year-old boy intentionally sliding beneath the safety restraint.

    Starfish

    In May 2001, a 41-year-old woman from Antioch, California was thrown from the ride when a restraining bar failed as the result of a pneumatic valve being incorrectly installed. She landed on the pavement and suffered head and knee injuries. Her later lawsuit named both the park and ride manufacturer Chance Rides as responsible parties.

    On June 8, 2002 a 4-year-old girl was critically injured when she slipped beneath the restraining bar and fell from the Starfish ride, receiving critical head injuries.Investigators later blamed park employees for incorrectly seating the girl and not having proper signage indicating the proper seating arrangement for a larger and smaller rider.

    Animal Attacks

    On January 5, 1996 two trainers were attacked by cougars during an exercise session. One trainer was in the cougar enclosure to take one of the animals for a walk. The cougars, Zuni and Tonto, had been playing amongst themselves and began aggressively playing with him, causing severe cuts on his face and upper torso. The backup trainer suffered minor cuts and bruises in his attempt to free the other.[9]

    On July 31, 1998, Kuma, a two year old Bengal tiger attacked and seriously injured a guest from San Jose, California and slightly injured the trainer. The incident happened in a secluded area of the park set up to do private photo sessions with the big cats. The tiger was apparently startled when the guest fell off the photo platform and landed on top of her. The trainer suffered a clawing while trying to free the guest who had received serious injuries to her head and upper torso.

    On June 2, 2004, a 23 year old African elephant named Micha gored her trainer while in her enclosure as the trainer walked beside her. This was Micha's second aggressive act following a previous swipe at a trainer two years prior.
