Investigation Underway into Six Flags Goliath Roller Coaster Incident and Liability
Hassan Kariem died following an incident on the Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia on October 12. The park has temporarily closed the ride and others as investigators review safety practices, maintenance records, and the role of safety systems. Legal experts note that Georgia law holds amusement parks to an "ordinary care" standard, complicating potential liability. The investigation may also examine the manufacturer, maintenance contractors, and park staff to determine responsibility.
