After one person died and several others were injured at Six Flags Over Georgia, where witnesses reported seeing a man fall from a roller coaster, the amusement park company announced Monday that similar attractions have been closed across its park system.
Witnesses who spoke to NBC affiliate WXIA in Atlanta said they saw a man fall from the Goliath roller coaster. At least two said they saw him strike parts of the ride multiple times before hitting the ground, NBC News reported.
In a statement, a Six Flags spokesperson said, “We are deeply saddened by the guest incident at our park today. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with the guest’s family, friends and loved ones.”

The spokesperson said similar attractions across the company’s parks have been closed “out of an abundance of caution.”
“The safety of our guests and team members remains one of our highest priorities,” the statement said, in part.
A Six Flags spokesperson didn’t identify the attractions affected. However, Goliath is similar to Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America and Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey. All three are steel hypercoasters manufactured by Switzerland-based Bolliger & Mabillard.
Six Flags Great America remains open on select days and evenings this season before closing for the winter Nov. 1.
