Attorney says fatal Six Flags roller coaster accident could raise broader safety questions as 9 rides close

A fatal roller coaster incident at Six Flags Over Georgia is raising questions about ride safety and potential liability as investigators work to determine how a rider was ejected from one of the park's attractions.

The man was killed Monday while riding Goliath, the tallest roller coaster at the park, which features a 200-foot first hill. Police and state ride inspectors are investigating, while Six Flags temporarily closed nine similar roller coasters across North America following the death, according to The Associated Press.
