A person died and several others were injured when an incident occurred on a roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia in the US state of Georgia, leading to the temporary closure of nine similar rides across six parks as a precautionary measure. The spokesperson for Six Flags stated that this was done out of caution following the incident involving the Goliath ride, which is 60 meters high and reaches speeds up to 70 mph. Police are investigating the incident with detectives from Cobb County’s major crimes unit, though no details about how the death occurred or the condition of those injured have been released.

Story summary
On Monday, a man died after falling off the Goliath rollercoaster at Six Flags Over Georgia in Austell, GA. Witnesses reported seeing the victim hit the coaster car three times during his fall and were captured on ride photos taken by other visitors. The incident led to an evacuation of people from the Goliath four at a time, while some remained stuck inside until rescue. The park temporarily closed nine similar rides across six amusement parks "out of an abundance of caution." Cobb County Police are investigating the death, which occurred less than two weeks after Six Flags announced plans to retire its X2 roller coaster in California due to safety concerns.
