A man from Red Bank filed a lawsuit against Six Flags Great Adventure for injuries he claims he sustained during his experience on a ride that led to spinal surgery.
The suit alleges that the roller coaster Kingda Ka exposes riders to whiplash injuries. Dr. Christopher Fabricant of Red Bank claims that he sustained severe and permanent neck and spine damage during his ride in 2017 on what Six Flags coined the “fastest roller coaster in North America.”
The federal lawsuit alleges that park employees were negligent in not warning Fabricant of the risks he faced on the coaster as a 6’ 2” man. It claimed that he was not a candidate for safe riding as the roller coaster can pose a risk of whiplash if the person’s head extends above the rear of the seat.
For more information on the injuries sustained by Dr Fabricant or the allegations made, read the whole story on Jersey Shore Online
Pussy
Why did you go on it? Idiot.
A doctor should know better then to get on the ride
That is to be expected ride at your own risk…
That is to be expected ride at your own risk…
Cry baby lol
He of all people should know the risks and should’ve ridden the carousel instead.
Pamela Leigh Wesnitzer so true… Lol.
Desireé Michelle He’s just looking for a fast buck!
That’s the chance you take no matter who you are and where ever you are. And at anytime!
His practice must suck and could use some easy money
Arthur Ackerman probably runs a pill mill.
They have signs posted why would he bother?
He’s 6’2, the sign apparently says 6’5
Steph VanPelt maybe it was written too clear. They should write that out like a doctor writes their scripts
Lol ?? We’re such a lawsuit-happy society.
I call absolute bullshit on this.Pansy
WORKS IN REDBANK.. LIVES IN LAKEWOOD
Kevin Draa really? Enough with it.
Douche
Y SO SAD
Kevin Draa why so racist? White trash.
IM NOT RACIST.. I HAVE TWO COLOR TVS IN MY HOUSE
Get the fuck over it dude. You choose to go on the damn ride. I bet your be ignorant enough to sue for spilling hot coffee on yourself because you’re too stupid to know coffee is hot right..
Don’t they have signs saying rise at your own risk? Im pretty sure they’re only liable if you die or leave with less parts than you came with. Or at least they should be.
Shit like this is why it’s so fuckin expensive now
Write yourself a Rx for oxycodone like you do for all your patients ..???????
They tighten and check all the harnesses at Six Flags. I wonder if he tried to say something to the attendant, but they whiz by so fast he was ignored, or did he not feel pain until the ride shot off?
he probably wasn’t sitting properly or didn’t follow the “heads back, arms down” thing they say before being launched
That makes sense.
Always looking for the easy way out!
Jeff Jurkiewicz seriously? This man is a well respected successful Dr !!! Hardly looking for an easy way out!
Elaine Giliberti Brueckmann 100000% serious! Your ticket coming into any amusement park tells you they are not responsible for such injuries! Every ride has it posted! Please stop with the good Dr.
Jeff Jurkiewicz your a jerk
Elaine Giliberti Brueckmann been called worse! Have a good night!
Jeff Jurkiewicz Is like to see how you felt if this was your brother/father that everyone was ridiculing! You have a good nite too!
Elaine Giliberti Brueckmann Not ridiculing anyone. It’s on your ticket when you walk in. It’s the game you play to have a good time.
common sense.
Elaine Giliberti Brueckmann id ridicule the hell out of them if it were my father or brother!! To even fathom the idea of suing an amusement park because your over sized, lanky ass got whip lash???? ????? cmon!! Be a man!! It’s whip lash! No where near life or death by any means! Signs posted every where and then some to proceed at your own risk and this man is going to now sue because he got whip lash on a ride that goes 43 thousand miles an hour? Yea if any of the men in my family did something like this, ridiculed is a gross understatement ?????
I remember a height maximum posted on that ride (along with a long list of warnings and rider restrictions). The article says 77″, or 6’5. But torso size is all that matters, based on his case. Maybe they do need to institute a seated height marker at head or shoulder level for rides like this.
Payback should be to send him to a chiropractor and rehab until insurance runs out like Drs do to the rest of us
Please looking for $$$$
Should’ve been a clown instead
Michael A Hildebrandt he is. A clownshoe lol
Carol Fernandez is this the dr fabricant that worked at kimball?????
nope
Just not a common name, ya know?
Jen Andzeski -No, he is a OB-GYN
Lisa Russell he is a GYN/ Urologist his father is the Ob/GYN who just retired!
I’m thinking of his father then. He worked with L&D in Kimball with my gramma for years.
I’m sorry and don’t want to be ‘insensitive’ but there are plenty of warnings and him being an educated doctor should have known the risks
All these comments are so true.
moronic
Typical doctors screw everyone in and out of the office
Hey Buttercup, after 120 aircraft carrier catapults and landings, my back and neck bother me too. Grow a set of balls.
#NOTANAMUSEMENTPARKRIDE.
Paul Povinelli thank you for your service ??
Paul Povinelli thank you for your service!
On a side note Turmeric helps with inflammation and pain. I use it with CBD oil for my arthritis, and fibromyalgia
He should have read the warnings posted for the ride. Typical!
Ocean County Scanner News you should maybe close the comments on this! Comments on this Dr are very disparaging !!!
Elaine Giliberti Brueckmann everyone should be entitled to voice their opinion.
Elaine Giliberti Brueckmann it’ll make you think twice before you sue for something so ridiculous
Please keep the comments to the lawsuit at hand only. Thanks all!
Elaine Giliberti Brueckmann he deserves every single negative comment by us readers. It’s a bullshit lawsuit by another shady doctor who has nothing better to do in life than complain about something he probably did by himself. Maybe if you don’t like the comments, you should scroll away from the post. Grow up
I grew up with Chris Fabricant in Brick. His parents were wonderful people and I cant believe Chris would file any law suit that didnt have merits Believe me ,he was not raised that way.
Elaine Giliberti Brueckmann
Dont care if he was raised in a zoo….he apparently does not have the brains he was born with.He should have heeded the warnings and you then proceed at your own risk…..another shady doctor!!!!Treat him accordingly and hope that works!!!If I choose to sit in the sun and get a sunburn who shall I sue??
Joseph Knoblauch it’s good to know that he was raised properly because a lot of times this kind of stupidity comes from complete idiots! But in all fairness, it says that he was too tall for the ride, that his head did not fit against the head rest, so commonsense would tell you that is not going to end well! Why would a doctor need some teen running the ride to tell him this ?!
Don Blair heh if these opinions were about your family member? I’m sure you would feel differently!
Ocean County Scanner News LOL thanks that really was heart felt!
Gotta love Social media allowing cowboy keyboard warriors to post such negative comments! Just because you have a comment or an opinion doesn’t mean you have the right to post it! Try thinking if you would want you children or family members reading this about you. That’s all Im saying . Why can’t you just be nice ???
No actually words dont hurt me. I’m not a little snowflake. Everyone is entitled to their opinion wether you like it or not. The world isnt a nice place. Get used to it.
With all due respect, at your age, you should know this by now.
Don Blair with all due respect don’t assume to know my age? And with your attitude the world continues to slide down hill!
Ride at your own risk I believe the tickets say
Michelle Rutledge definitely, also any health issues like heart conditions are advised not to ride them.
You people are ruthless! You may think you know it all but this Dr is really a nice guy and doesn’t deserve the derogatory comments!
Elaine Giliberti Brueckmann this doctor should have never got on this ride. It only takes one person to ruin it for everyone.
you know how many of these type of lawsuites this place gets a year.
Brett Huber 99% of those lawsuits are bullshit lawsuits that was mainly the fault of the people suing the park. Park had no wrong-doing
Desiree Domer my point exactly
Anyway to try and get money!!!
When you buy a ticket ya kinda waive the right to sue for any injuries except for death. Also. At each rides it says if you have this or that affliction you should not ride. Ergo. This schuyster should be laughed out of court. On kingda ka? Looking for a payday
Come on, seriously now. This guy knew exactly what he was getting on. So tired of lazy ass people looking for fraudulent lawsuits at the expense of others. What a waste of sperm he is.
Who the heck told him to go on it??? The world is full of frivolous lawsuits
Thrown out. Give me a break
Moron. Hope the park Sues for costs and time wasted
Kenneth Davenport Mike Davenport Ed Brooks Joseph Knoblauch
I didn’t know Dr. Suess was an avid roller coaster rider ??♂️
Jay Emm I read that as such also!
So he didn’t follow instructions, and keep his head firmly against the head rest. Idiot.
Oh come on
He making excuse so he can write up RX for himself and nake easy money if lawsuit dont pull through ???… PERCS COME ON DOWNNN???
He”ll get a fat settlement then kingda ka will be gone like Cobra In hurricane harbor after that lawsuit.
Ron Arzt the only way Kingda Ka will ever get torn down is if the park decides that…not some bogus “lawsuit” because this doctor is a douchebag who has nothing better to do in life than sue a park for his own so-called negligence. All of my friends have been on Kingda Ka hundreds of times and there’s no such whiplash on this coaster.
Desiree Domer agreed !
just as bad as the lady that sued bc her spoiled little teen got scared during fright fest. ridiculous.
Alicia Tanenbaum
Charlie Platia I heard
Dana KM Melissa Parsowith I’m suing el toro
Alicia Tanenbaum isn’t Chris 6’2? He Gucci! There are also signs with warnings… comeon man
Dana KM I meant for me…
I’m suing dunkin donuts for my obesity…
Really you choose to ride at your own risk common sence tells you your body is not meant to do any of these rides .
Isn’t there signs near every ride that says ride at your own risk?
Seriously? I hope the judge laughs him out of court!?
If you are going to go on a roller coaster and assume you are not going to get knocked around (even though you are safely strapped in) than you are a looney tune and should be dressed up as a character in the park! GMAFB
He shouldn’t be a doctor if he didn’t know the obvious risks of a roller coaster…
don’t people ride at their own risks?
Its always been ride at your own risk!!! If the ride malfunctioned, then he would possibly have a lawsuit …
What an idiot
Suck it up doc , you knew the risk
Yup. He did both surgeries on the pro lapse ute
Unbelievable
I’m not defending the Dr but I have been a surgical patient of his so I know him him professionally. He is a successful OB/GYN Dr and handles problems that women go thru. Physically he is active in several sports and is in decent shape.
it says that he was too tall for the ride, that his head did not fit against the head rest, so commonsense would tell you that is not going to end well! Why would a doctor need some teen running the ride to tell him this ?!
Yea and I have a permanent bruise on my back since I was in my teen’s don’t see me suing…lol
What the duck this world just needs to take responsibility! Stop being a bunch of whinnying baby’s
Ride at own risk, lmao because you physically couldn’t handle it, everyone shouldn’t.. dumbass
It was his decision to ride the ride, don’t blame Six Flags LMAO ?
