The chief executive of Six Flags says the company will install seat belts on the Georgia roller coaster from which a rider fell to his death earlier this month. The company’s rides with similar restraints will also get the safety upgrade.
The theme park operator announced the extra safeguard less than two weeks after 42-year-old Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem of Atlanta died after being ejected from his seat on the Goliath coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia.
If you’re curious who’s supposed to be regulating these…
It’s at a state by state level (for permanent theme parks), which is why these accidents keep happening in red states.
This is just the result of decades of erasing regulations in exchange for political donations.
Regulations previously inked in blood. Now they demand more sacrifice.
Wasn’t the six flags thing that kept brain damaging and killing people for the past decade in California?
