Six Flags to add seat belts to roller coasters after Georgia rider’s death

Six Flags is adding seat belts to several of its roller coasters after a Georgia man’s fatal fall on a ride that relied on lap restraints to keep passengers in their seats.

The safety overhaul comes less than two weeks after 42-year-old Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem was ejected from the Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia. Eight other Six Flags coasters with similar restraint systems remain closed across the U.S. and Canada as investigators work to determine what went wrong.
