Man Dies After Falling Out of Six Flags Roller Coaster in Georgia

A man died after falling from the Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia on Monday, officials said.

Horrified witnesses say the man flew out of the ride and slammed into other passengers before landing underneath the coaster.

Six Flags has temporarily closed nine similar attractions in its parks in the United States and Canada “out of an abundance of caution” and an investigation is underway.
