When a serious incident happens in a public place, the first clear picture often comes from the people who were there. After a man died at Six Flags Over Georgia, riders who were on the Goliath have described what they saw, and their accounts are among the most detailed information reported so far.Credit: Six Flags Over GeorgiaA content note first: this report includes graphic descriptions from witnesses, and some readers may find them upsetting. Each account below is attributed to its source, because a witness account is not the same as a confirmed finding, and the cause is not yet known.What 11Alive Reported11Alive opened its report this way: “In a horrifying scene witnessed by dozens of park-goers, a man died after being ejected from a car on the Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia on Monday.”The outlet also reported that the park said it was “deeply saddened by the guest incident,” and that park workers and local authorities responded immediately. Separately, police said a man died and several others were injured, and officials told Channel 2 that four others were hurt.A Witness on the RideWitnesses who were on the ride were emotional as they described a gruesome scene, 11Alive reported, saying the man hit the ride several times after he was ejected.One witness told reporter Cody Alcorn that the falling man was captured on their souvenir picture taken while on the ride.“He was in our pictures,” the witness said. “He fell and hit the car three different times.”According to 11Alive, he said the man’s body hit others on the ride before falling onto the roof of a haunted house attraction below.What a Woman Said About the Man’s FamilyCredit: Six Flags Over Georgia11Alive reported that a woman said the man was on the ride with his son, while his wife and daughter were watching from the ground.We’re passing that along as a witness’s statement. The information we have doesn’t identify the woman or include confirmation of this detail from officials. The park and the city have both said they are not sharing more at this time out of respect for the family.A Husband and Wife Who Saw ItA husband and wife on the ride saw the man ejected from his car and bouncing off the coaster three times, according to 11Alive.“We saw it all,” the man said.“We were having a great time and to just screaming ‘Oh my God, what is happening?'” the woman said.They both said workers checked their safety harness before the ride. We’re passing that along as their statement. The information we have doesn’t say what, if anything, it means for the investigation, and we won’t guess.Where the Man Was SittingAccording to 11Alive, the accident left riders stuck on an incline and forced a park evacuation. The report says the man who died was not on that car, but “on a second coaster that was ahead of them.”Video from 11Alive’s SkyTracker showed the coaster stopped on an incline as of 5 p.m., with workers in the process of getting the riders out of the cars and onto a stairway.Reading Accounts CarefullyDifferent reports use different words, and the differences matter. 11Alive describes the man as ejected from a car. Witnesses quoted by CNN affiliate WXIA said they watched a man fall off a roller coaster. The park’s statements describe a “guest incident” and don’t say how it happened.Specific details, such as the ride photo, where the man landed, and who was with him, come from witnesses as reported by 11Alive. The information we have doesn’t show that officials have confirmed them.11Alive also wrote that the incident forced “a park evacuation.” Other reports describe riders being evacuated from the Goliath, four at a time, according to Channel 2. The information we have doesn’t say the entire park was evacuated, so we’re keeping to the language each outlet used.About the RideSix Flags Over Georgia is in Cobb County, about 10 miles west of downtown Atlanta, in the City of Mableton. 11Alive reported that the Goliath was manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard and opened in 2006.
