Cause

On July 31, 2017, Plaintiff Ashley D. Martinez ("Plaintiff" or "Plaintiff Martinez") visited Defendant Six Flags Magic Mountain ("Six Flags") in Valencia, California. While there, she sustained physical injuries. The cause of her injuries was the Defendants' failure to maintain a safe environment for their guests. The Defendants did not secure the ride known as Yosemite Sam's Flight School. They allowed the ride to operate without ensuring that all riders were safely mounted. Consequently, the ride began moving unexpectedly and directly led to the injuries that Plaintiff suffered.
