What was supposed to be a day of family fun ended in tragedy. Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem, 42, died on October 12, 2026, after being ejected from a roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia in the United States.
The man was riding Goliath, an attraction that reaches speeds of 113 kilometers per hour and stands 61 meters tall.
According to witnesses, his son was seated beside him, while his wife and daughter were in another area of the park.
Midway through the ride, Kariem left his seat, struck other visitors, and fell beneath the structure. Emergency crews rushed to the scene but were unable to save his life.
The victim worked at a school in Atlanta, whose community deeply mourned his death.
The accident also left other visitors injured and led Six Flags to temporarily suspend nine similar roller coasters in North America.
Authorities are investigating how the fall could have happened, as it has not yet been determined whether there was a mechanical failure or some other factor.
A family outing that ended in the most painful way.
