Six Flags announced it will install seat belts on the Goliath roller coaster at its Georgia park after a 42‑year‑old rider was killed when he was ejected from his seat.
The fatal incident involved Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem, who died following the ejection from the Goliath ride. Six Flags said the new safety measure will be added as an extra safeguard for guests.
Details of the accident, including the exact date, were not disclosed by the company. The Goliath coaster is one of the park’s high‑speed attractions.
Six Flags said the seat‑belt installation will be carried out in the coming weeks, with the aim of preventing similar incidents in the future.
