Investigation into Ninja derailment continues, first lawsuit filed

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

Park officials and witnesses described seeing a large branch fall across the tracks at about 6 p.m. Monday, causing the partial derailment, but a spokesman for the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, Peter Melton, said an entire tree -- estimated at 40 feet high -- had actually fallen.

Two Six Flags Magic Mountain visitors who were riding the Ninja roller coaster when it struck a downed tree Monday sued the park, seeking unspecified damages.

From the LA Times: Investigation continues, lawsuit filed.

If a tree falls in a theme park how many people will sue ?

I'm waiting for the tree's family to bring a lawsuit now.

I heard the tree is being taken out of the ICU, and is making a steady recovery. The Tree's lawyers refused to comment on the current situation.

I think we should leaf this alone. The lawyer for the tree is probably all bark and no bite anyway.

Fever I really enjoy the Simpsons. It's just a shame that I am starting to LOOK like Homer.

Enough with the sappy jokes. They are making me start to root for the park.

You guys aren't very punny.

I'd make a wood joke, but, you know. Beaver.

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

I think Charmland was trying to send a message.

Yeah... That's about as funny as a screen door on a battleship

It looks like Ninja got a fresh whiff of a new pine air freshener.

But hey, I'm not Birch-ing

No, the Yosemite treatment

Most of the victims are suffering from severe splinter trauma, growing pains, and the pain is reportedly branching out all over the body.

It's leave, you idiot! "Make like a tree, and leave." You sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong.

No trees were harmed in the sending of this message, but a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

If the tree dies, he dies. Probably better anyways. Who can live with so many trees? They suck up all the oxygen.
