    Accidents at Hurricane Harbor

    In the past, serious and even fatal accidents have been documented on various Hurricane Harbor rides and attractions.  In one tragic instance, a 64-year-old woman named Linda Forbes was killed after drowning at the Lazy River at Six Flags Over Texas.  Her family alleged the park was responsible for Forbes’ wrongful death.  The Forbes family filed a lawsuit stating that a chain of negligence led to Forbes’ preventable death. First, employees failed to use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation; then, the defibrillator machine brought to scene did not work; and finally, paramedics were unable to reach the scene in time to save Forbes because the ride was “locked and inaccessible.”

    In another instance, a 19-year-old male plummeted over 75 feet from the Venom Drop, one of three slides contained by Black Snake Summit at Hurricane Harbor in California.  Against all odds, the man survived without sustaining any catastrophic injuries — but the end result could have been much worse.
