The incident occurred around 4 p.m.

Monday on the Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia.

"He was in our pictures," the witness said.

"He fell and hit the car three different times." Fox News Digital reached out to Six Flags for the latest on the ride's status.

Another couple who were on the ride described the terrifying moments surrounding the man's death, according to WXIA.

"The vehicle [meaning the ride] hit him, and then he flew back up again, and it hit him again, and then that's when he was, I guess, flung from the ride," the man told the outlet.

"It went from having a great time to just screaming, 'Oh my God, what is happening,'" his wife said.

"You don't see things like this happen.

It should never happen." FRIGHTENING SCENE UNFOLDS ON ICONIC SKY RIDE AS CHILD FALLS DOWN ONTO BOARDWALK Meanwhile, another Goliath rider said his train was ascending when passengers heard screaming and saw people running below.
