DarkKnight Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 From KHTS AM 1220, Tuesday, 02 September 2008: Man was reportedly in an unauthorized area when he was hit by Ninja ride Six Flags Magic Mountain officials have confirmed that a man was struck by a ride at the park in Santa Clarita. The incident, which involved a 20 year old man, occurred just after 4:00 p.m. Saturday, August 30th. According to the park, the man scaled at least one fence and entered a "visibly restricted area." Once in the restricted area he was struck by the Ninja roller coaster. Magic Mountain officials report that park medical personnel were on scene within two minutes, and found the man unconscious but breathing. They contacted 911 and the man was transported to the hospital. The park released a statement saying; "As required by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), Ninja is surrounded by 6-foot and 7-foot fences that are clearly marked by signs stating the area is restricted to authorized personnel only." Based upon information provided by this individual's brother-in-law, he was attempting to retrieve his hat, which he'd apparently lost on an adjacent ride.
