A day of fun at Six Flags Over Georgia turned into tragedy when a man, celebrating his niece’s birthday, fell from the Goliath roller coaster and died. Witnesses described the horrifying moment he was ejected from the ride, hitting other patrons during his fall. Family and friends remembered him as a cherished teacher who had recently survived cancer and a fiery car accident. The incident has raised urgent questions about ride safety, prompting Six Flags to temporarily close multiple coasters across North America.
