The lawsuit says she suffered “permanent, disabling personal injuries, including skull fractures and traumatic brain injury.”
amusement park Wednesday, nearly two years after the piece of metal flew off the Top Thrill Dragster roller coaster – at the time, the world's second-tallest coaster at more than 400 feet high – while she was waiting in line to ride it, landing her in intensive care.
Amusement park ride injuries are relatively rare ‒ and from flying metal likely exceedingly so – at only 1 in more than 15 million rides, according to industry estimates. But they can be especially severe, given high speeds and thrilling heights like those on the Cedar Point coaster, which hasn't reopened since Hawes was injured.
Before Hawes' trip to Cedar Point in 2021, she was enrolled in graduate school to become an educator. All changed following her injuries, the lawsuit says.
