1 Dead, Several Injured After Man Falls From Six Flags Roller Coaster

A man died Monday afternoon after falling from the Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia, with four others injured, according to law enforcement and witnesses. Witnesses said the man was ejected from the ride, struck the car and other riders, and landed on an attraction below; the park evacuated the ride and surrounding area.

Six Flags said it is cooperating with the investigation by Cobb County's major crimes unit, which has not yet determined the cause. The company has faced recent scrutiny over injury lawsuits at other parks, including the retirement of a coaster amid brain-injury claims and a settled wrongful-death suit.
