משפט · Coaster safetySix Flags Shuts Similar Coasters After Fatal Goliath Incidentנכתב 13 באוקטובר 2026 בשעה 14:23 UTCצפייהתמליל0:07A man died on Goliath, and six flags shut similar coasters across its parks.0:12Four other people were reported injured.0:14Nine roller coasters across six parks were reported temporarily closed, affecting0:19guests and workers beyond Georgia.0:22Investigators now face the question at the center of those shutdowns.0:25How did the man come out of the ride?0:27Goliath stopped and its riders were evacuated.0:30Witnesses described the train stopped on an incline.0:33Officers assigned to the park and uniformed patrol officers responded to the0:37emergency.0:38The emergency happened just before 4 in the afternoon on October 12th, 2026.0:44Six Flags Over Georgia is in Austell in Cobb County, near Atlanta.0:48Cobb County Police Department's major crimes unit is investigating.0:51Police confirmed one death and several injuries.0:54The reported count of four injured people fits that description, but their medical0:58conditions haven't been released.0:59Witnesses say the man fell from his seat.1:02Police's public statement confirms a fatal roller coaster incident, but doesn't1:06explain how he came out.1:08Words like thrown or launched leave the cause unanswered.1:11Two riders, seated three rows behind the man, said he struck their coaster car.1:16They said other riders tried to grab him but couldn't.1:19Another witness said he hit the car three times before falling onto a roof,1:23described as part of a nearby haunted house attraction.1:26A witness also said the incident was in our pictures referring to souvenir ride1:30photographs.1:31Investigators haven't publicly authenticated those images or confirmed the witness'1:36described landing location.1:37Emergency radio accounts describe two children in the man's row being struck by his1:41body.1:42That leaves the circumstances of the other reported injuries unclear.1:46Witnesses also described a child sitting with him, but authorities haven't confirmed1:50their relationship.1:51The two riders behind the man said their own restraint repeatedly clicked before1:55departure.1:56They said employees checked it more than usual.1:58They were describing their own seat, and investigators haven't connected those2:02checks to the man's fall.2:03A separate witness described the man's restraint when the train returned as2:07completely unlatched and unlocked.2:09That observation doesn't tell investigators its condition at departure when it2:13opened or why.2:14Police haven't announced a finding that a restraint failed.2:17Goliath uses an individual lap bar at each seat.2:20Bulliger and Mabilliard manufactured the steel coaster, which opened in 2006.2:24It's a hypercoaster, a class of tall roller coaster, and it has no upside-down2:29sections.2:29The ride's advertised height is 200 feet, and its advertised top speed is 70 miles2:35an hour.2:36Those figures describe the attraction.2:38Investigators haven't disclosed the man's fall height or the train's speed during2:41the incident.2:42The track runs about 4,480 feet.2:45A normal ride lasts about 3 minutes and 30 seconds.2:49The stated minimum rider height is 54 inches.2:52Goliath has two trains, each with nine cars.2:55Each car holds one row of four seats, giving each train 36 seats.2:59Those are capacity figures.3:01Police haven't released the number of people aboard during the emergency.3:05Six Flags says it temporarily closed similar attractions out of an abundance of3:10caution.3:11The company is suspending selected rides while authorities investigate.3:14Investigators haven't announced a mechanical defect behind the Georgia death or3:18linked the closed attractions to a defective component.3:21The reported closure count differs.3:23Nine coasters in the broader tally, six rides in another account.3:27Nobody has explained that difference, or whether the Six Park tally includes3:30Georgia.3:31Six Flags hasn't supplied a complete roster that reconciles the counts.3:35Raging Bull closed at Six Flags Great America in Gurney, Illinois.3:39Two coasters also closed at Canada's Wonderland in Ontario.3:42These are examples of the wider response rather than a complete list of the nine3:45reported closures.3:46Other reported closures include Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Southern3:50California and Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey.3:54Leviathan and Behemoth are the named examples at Canada's Wonderland.3:57Matching names alone don't tell investigators whether rides share the same4:01equipment.4:02Six Flags says it's supporting affected guests and employees and cooperating fully4:06with local authorities.4:07The company expressed condolences to the man's family and said it was withholding4:10further details out of respect for their privacy.4:13Cobb County Chairwoman Lisa Cupid said it was her understanding that next of kin had4:17been notified.4:18She said the county was working with the park and other partners, and law4:21enforcement would release information as it was confirmed.4:24The man's identity hadn't been publicly released by the October 13th updates.4:28Investigators still haven't explained the sequence that put him outside the car.4:32They haven't announced a deadline for findings, and the affected rides have no4:36announced reopening timetable.קריאת הכתבהציר הזמן של הסיפורHeyDexהסרטון הקצר ↗מי דיווח על מהנקודות שדיווח עליהן יותר מכלי תקשורת אחד✓Injuries to other ridersאושר באופן
