Horror as rollercoaster rider falls to his death at Six Flags
Staff in high-visibility vests approach a rollercoaster train stopped on its steep lift incline. In news.com.au's report, the footage follows the evacuation after a man fell to his death from Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia on Monday.
The short report drew roughly 86,000 views in its first day, about eighteen times the channel's usual start for videos of this length.
On-screen text says police reported several other injuries. Six Flags said staff and local authorities responded immediately and expressed deep sadness over the accident.
The images show the response, not the fatal fall: passengers leaving their seats, stepping onto the maintenance staircase and walking down beside the track with staff. Several viewers focus on whether the stopped train shown in the footage was the one involved in the accident. The evacuation images alone do not establish where the fall happened.
There is no spoken narration. The report uses text over ground-level and aerial footage, returning to staff helping passengers out of the front rows and accompanying them down the catwalk.
