Yep. The whole thrill of Goliath is the negative G's you feel cresting the hills. It has no shoulder harness.

How many people has Six Flags killed in the last 10 years?

Son sitting next to him according to this interview, just awful.
The person being interviewed also says the souvenir camera caught the man hitting them as he fell out of his seat.

This coaster just has a lap/leg restraint, correct?

The pictures are taken at the end on much smaller hills.

It has been open for 20 years and I believe this is the first to fall out
That's one more than should have.

The Superman ride relies on restraints almost completely. I remember being terrified the whole time because of it
I damn near had a panic attack because after the ride we were just dangling there waiting on the staff to check everyone in the train ahead of us. My restraints were so damn tight and I started to freak out because I couldn't move.

B&M has an impeccable safety record in the industry. At some point, something was bound to go wrong I guess, but this is just unheard of if it's actually a restraint failure.
Unless they've updated them, B&M uses mechanical restraints on their hypers. I know from personal experience every so often you'll feel it loosen to the next position (mine on Apollo's Chariot) but they're known to do that and no one's ever been injured.

Holy shite. So did the guy fall out and land on people on a section of the track below?
Posted on 10/12/26 at 5:53 pm to bikerack
Lucky he didn't kill anyone he landed in.

The article said one died and four others were injured. How would others get injured?

That's fricking insane it happened right at the on-ride photo.

Also, while that guy isn't the biggest guy I've seen, I'm putting money on him being over the limits for that restraint system.
