A mother who said her daughter was tossed out of a tea cup car on the Bone Shaker ride at Haunted Trails has reached a settlement with the owners of the amusement park.

On Dec. 12, Anna Brouk's lawsuit against FPS, the company that runs Haunted Trails on North Broadway in Joliet, was dismissed after both parties reached a settlement, according to court records.

Brouk’s lawsuit alleged her 16-year-old daughter Ashley was riding the Bone Shaker on Sept. 29, 2017, when she was “thrown out of the tea cup car” and that the operator failed to stop the ride, causing her to be “further thrown around the ride and injured.”

FPS denied the allegation in its response to the lawsuit.

A judge approved a settlement petition from Brouk’s attorney, John Kolb, and ordered FPS to pay $32,773 to Ashley, $16,666 to her attorneys and about $560 in court costs, records show.

Kolb said there was no determination as to whether the Bone Shaker ride was unsafe, because the case did not proceed to trial or any other final adjudication, but noted his client’s injuries from the ride “suggests to me something isn’t right.”

He said families expect the rides to function properly.

“It’s a place of entertainment, not a place of risk,” Kolb said.

FPS’s attorney, Michael Handley, said the ride is “definitely” safe.

The settlement petition said Ashley was taken to AMITA Health Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet after the incident and “received some stitches” after suffering “two impacts” to the head on the Bone Shaker.

Her remaining treatment was for headaches and dizziness, the petition said, and her last diagnosis was that she had post-concussion syndrome.

The ride has several tea cup cars decorated with pictures of skeletons and bones. The centerpiece of the ride is giant ghost statue. One sign posted nearby says, “Ride at your own risk.”

Frank Sikora, the owner of Haunted Trails, has said the Bone Shaker is not dangerous and has never caused any serious injuries. He said witnesses saw Brouk fall out after she stood up during the ride after she was told to sit down and that her uncle, who was riding with her, spun their tea cup car excessively.

“We’ve been around a long time.We’ve got a very good safety record, and we’re there for the community,” Sikora said.
