A 42-year-old Atlanta man died after being ejected from a roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia in Mableton on Monday, Oct. 12, Cobb County police said.

Police identified the man Tuesday as Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem. He struck other riders before landing beneath the ride, according to a WSB-TV update.

Officers responded at approximately 3:58 p.m. Monday. Police confirmed one death and several injuries. Local news reports put the injury count at four, according to FOX 5 Atlanta.

Witnesses identified the coaster as Goliath. Authorities and Six Flags had not named the ride in the statements reviewed by the Associated Press.

Detectives with the Cobb County Police Department’s Major Crimes Unit are investigating. Authorities have not announced what caused the rider’s ejection.

Logan Conner, who said he was riding Goliath with his fiancée, described seeing the man come out of his seat.

“The man started levitating in the air sideways,” Conner told NBC News. “We made direct eye contact with him.”

Brittany Landry of Winder told FOX 5 she was waiting to board the nearby Georgia Scorcher when she saw someone fall from Goliath into a wooded area.

Goliath stopped after the incident, and stranded passengers were escorted down an emergency stairway using a harness system, FOX 5 reported. The park was evacuated shortly afterward.

Cobb County Commission Chairwoman Lisa Cupid said Monday that it was her understanding the victim’s next of kin had been notified. She said the county was working with Six Flags and other partners as investigators examined the incident, according to her official statement.

State safety inspectors were also examining the equipment. Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John F. King told FOX 5 that investigators were working with park officials and Cobb County public safety personnel.

Six Flags said it was cooperating with local authorities. The company temporarily closed nine similar roller coasters at six parks as a precaution, according to the Associated Press.

Goliath reaches 200 feet and speeds of up to 70 mph, according to the park’s website.

Authorities have not released a timeline for completing the investigation.
