A man dies after falling from the Six Flags Goliath rollercoaster in Georgia while riding with his son, according to multiple reports. Witnesses describe the incident occurring on the 200-foot-tall ride, after which the man falls to the ground. His wife and daughter watch from below, the outlets say, and the family’s reactions are described as part of the accounts.
Outlets also report that the child is strapped in next to the man at the time of the incident. However, at least one outlet notes that officials have not yet confirmed the exact circumstances of how the death happened. The reports therefore focus on the witnessed setting and apparent positioning of the passengers, while leaving the cause and sequence of events awaiting official clarification.
