Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem, a 42-year-old school technology manager from Atlanta, went to Six Flags Over Georgia on Monday, October 12, and never came home. Police say he was thrown from his seat on Goliath, the park’s 200-foot roller coaster, and hit other riders before landing below the track.

Investigators still have not explained how he came out of his seat. But one mother who rode Goliath with her family earlier that day said her children kept pressing their lap bars down. “It just didn’t feel secure and tight,” Summer Bates told the Associated Press. On Goliath, a single lap bar is all that holds a rider in place at speeds up to 70 miles per hour. There is no seat belt as a backup.

Six Flags has paused nine coasters with similar designs at six parks in the United States and Canada. A short pause is not enough. Families deserve real answers before these rides carry anyone again.

Six Flags Entertainment Corporation and the Georgia Office of Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner, which inspects rides in the state, have the power to act. Goliath should stay closed until the investigation is complete and an independent inspector confirms it is safe. Six Flags should add a backup restraint, such as a seat belt, to Goliath and every coaster that shares its design. And the state should make the findings and Goliath’s inspection records public.

By one law firm’s count, at least seven people have died at the Georgia park since 1989. Less than two weeks ago, another Six Flags park retired a coaster after lawsuits claimed riders suffered brain injuries. Every rider deserves to know these coasters are safe.

Sign the petition to keep Goliath closed until Six Flags can prove every rider will stay in their seat.
