The Missouri Court of Appeals affirmed a grant of summary judgment to Six Flags St. Louis after determining that a woman injured running from a costumed clown at the park had voluntarily consented and knew about the risk of attending the park’s “Fright Fest” event.
In a June 20 opinion, authored by Judge Sherri B. Sullivan, the court determined that Six Flags St. Louis and John/Jane Doe were entitled to summary judgment in regards to plaintiff Carly Munoz’s negligence claim, as they were not liable for the injury Munoz sustained running from a character, as she had knew about and appreciated the risk from the park.
