The chief executive of Six Flags says the company will install seat belts on the Georgia roller coaster from which a rider fell to his death earlier this month. The company’s rides with similar restraints will also get the safety upgrade.
The theme park operator announced the extra safeguard less than two weeks after 42-year-old Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem of Atlanta died after being ejected from his seat on the Goliath coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia.
I didn’t have the clamshell like this, just the old lap bar. A ride damn near dropped me out and my sister had to hold onto me the whole time, but when we reported they just shrugged and said ok sorry.
