A family is suing Knott’s Berry Farm after they say their 10-year-old son was injured on one of the park’s roller coasters.
The Burrei family says the terrifying accident on the Coast Rider unfolded when Carson’s leg became trapped between the cart and the deck.
Carson was with his family from Utah when he says he stepped out on the platform of the entry level ride because he thought it was over.
“I thought it was done because the ride had stopped,” he said. “And then when I went to hop out, it moved forward again.”
The force of the motion, the family alleges, ripped the skin off his foot, fractured it and tore his tendons, causing significant nerve damage.

Knott's News: "Please remain seated until the ride comes to a complete and FINAL stop." I worked at a Cedar Fair park and had to say this hundreds of times a day. Assuming Knott's has the same safety spiels and the kid didn't wait for the final stop as he admits, then Knott's is in no way at fault for what happened to him. This holds especially true if the safety bar hadn't raised yet and he forced his way out.
I'll admit I had a bad experience working for Cedar Fair but I can tell you with certainty that safety is their #1 priority and no one takes it as seriously as they do. It's unfortunate this incident happened and the family has such exuberant medical expenses but they need to take responsibility for their own actions.
there should b cameras where they can see what happen
