A report in NJ.com covered reported accidents at various Six Flags theme parks.

Fender Benders, a collision between two ride vehicles reportedly occurred on an unspecified day in April.
Saw Mill Log Flume, 13 June 2021, a boat tipped and evidently collided.
Nitro, a roller coaster, 11 June 2021, was removed from service when a malfunctioning lap bar was reported.

The NJ.com report obtained state occurrence data from Six Flags for several years and reports these in a variety of charts, as well as reporting a selection of occurrences from other jurisdictions, and the Consumer Products Safety Commission (USA). As previously reported, CPSC data for amusement ride injury is a poor metric of safety, due to the inherent limitations of the sampling strategy and the inclusion in the same product code a variety of devices not conventionally considered “amusement rides”.
