A young woman was thrown off a roller coaster and fell to
her death on Friday, July 20th at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington.
The reason why she was thrown off is still being
investigated, but a witness claims the woman-expressed concern about the Texas
Giant roller coaster safety bar not completely engaging as the ride was
starting. That being said, why wouldn't the employees working the 14-story ride
make sure the bar was securely fastened?
German roller coaster maker, Tobias Lindnar, is sending
officials to Texas to further investigate what exactly happened that Friday
afternoon. Lindnar has a stellar reputation, having zero problems with car
safety bars on any of the 50 roller coasters that have been built over the past
30 years.
Sharon Parker, the spokeswoman for the Arlington amusement
park, reiterated the importance of finding out what exactly went wrong and how
it happened. She stated: “We are committed to determining the cause of this tragic
accident and will utilize every resource throughout this process; it would be
disservice to the family to speculate regarding what transpired.”
