"The rider is black and just about all the employees of 6 Flags are black"

Crumps on it?

Wait, his middle name is actually “Jihad”?

Lotta incorrect information about the victim and his crew when the story was breaking apparently.

He's not married and has no biological children. He was at the park with his long time girlfriend, her daughter, and her niece. He was seated next to his girlfriend's niece on the ride, the girlfriend and daughter were not on the ride.

Still traumatizing for everyone involved I'm sure, but I am glad some poor kid was not subjected to watching his father die in front of him in horrific fashion.

I saw a video interview from a guy that was on the ride. He stated that the guy flew forward over the seats on the last hill the was ejected at the last sharp left turn where it heads back to the loading station.

I think you actually give one last shite at that time

If he went forward, then the seat we see that’s empty and the harness seemingly up isn’t his seat. This changes the narrative. Also, where are his shoes?

If he was wearing slides or flip-flops, they sometimes make you take them off before the ride starts

Is that a sneaker top right pic between the headrests?

I don’t think so.

I think the report is wrong. He flew backwards to the row behind. The restraint is definitely out of position. If that seat was empty at the start, it should have been pushed all the way down.

i havent ridden this ride, but flying forward seems unlikely on a normal rollercoaster.

I know, that doesn’t make sense unless the coaster came to an abrupt stop or reversed direction

Coming up and out right as the coaster crests the hill, could that thrown him forward? Like the seat back cresting and going down hill pushing my forward as he’s sliding out.

This makes sense. It also seems possible he fell forward, and then eventually went backwards. Sort of a seat belt check and then acceleration, type of move

Maybe if he was ejected first on his way up a hill where there is deceleration. I suppose that’s possible and then he went backwards.

i wouldnt think so, because the only thing exerting force on his body would be the coaster itself, so i dont see how it could propel him faster than it is moving unless it is specifically designed to do something unusual like go fast up the hill and then brake right before the drop.

“Jihad” means struggle, not “attack western world”
