Family’s attorney questions Universal’s response to roller coaster injuries after man’s death
September 30, 2025
Attorney Ben Crump has announced that multiple people have contacted the family of Kevin Rodriguez Zavala, a 32-year-old man who died from blunt force injuries on the Stardust Racers roller coaster at Universal’s Epic Universe on September 17, to share similar stories. Crump revealed that a woman reached out, claiming she lost consciousness and suffered neck and spine injuries shortly after the ride opened in May. Crump questioned Universal’s response to these reports. Universal stated that their internal findings showed the ride systems functioned normally. Crump is calling for greater government oversight of large corporations like Universal and Disney.
