On Monday, October 12, 2026, around 3:58 p.m., a man died at Six Flags Over Georgia (near Atlanta in Cobb County) after falling from the Goliath roller coaster. The victim was identified as Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem, 42, of Atlanta. He was a father of two and worked at Wesley International Academy (part of Atlanta Public Schools), where he was described as a cherished member of the school community and an IT specialist/educator. According to police and witness accounts: • He was ejected from his seat on the ride. • He struck other patrons before falling beneath the attraction. • Officers found him unresponsive and not breathing underneath the ride; he was later pronounced dead. • Several other people were injured (some reports say four were taken to the hospital). Witnesses said he appeared to be riding with his son while his wife and daughter watched from the ground. Some described him coming out of his seat, hitting the coaster car multiple times, and landing below (including accounts of him landing on or near a haunted house attraction). The ride was stopped, and other riders were evacuated. Goliath is a hypercoaster that reaches about 70 mph and 200 feet. Six Flags temporarily closed Goliath and nine similar rides (mostly from the same manufacturer) across six other parks as a precaution while authorities investigate. Cobb County Police’s Major Crimes Unit is leading the investigation, along with state officials. The exact cause has not been determined and remains under investigation. Six Flags has expressed condolences and said it is cooperating fully while providing support to those affected.  It is a tragic incident, especially given that it involved a family day at the park. Details are still developing as the investigation continues.
