Butler Kahn Attorney Matt Kahn Featured on CNN Newsource Interview on Roller Coaster Safety

Attorney Matt Kahn was recently featured on a CNN Newsource interview discussing roller coaster safety, amusement park liability, and the legal rights of injured riders. The segment, titled “Roller Coasters: Thrills vs. Safety,” aired on October 19, 2026, and was syndicated across multiple television news outlets nationwide.

The interview examined the balance between the excitement of amusement park attractions and the responsibility of operators to maintain safe conditions for visitors. As concerns surrounding roller coaster accidents and amusement park injuries continue, the segment highlighted important questions about safety standards, negligence, and legal accountability.

During the interview, Kahn offered his legal perspective on the responsibilities of amusement park operators and the rights of individuals injured on amusement rides. He emphasized that visitors have a reasonable expectation of safety when boarding a roller coaster and that liability waivers do not necessarily protect amusement parks from legal claims involving serious negligence.

“It’s an unspoken promise that it is going to be safe,” Kahn explained.

His commentary underscored the importance of maintaining appropriate safety measures and holding responsible parties accountable when preventable accidents occur.
