Phoenix, AZ, October 16, 2026 —

A man died after falling from the Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia during a birthday celebration, according to the information provided about the incident. His brother-in-law recounted the man’s final words to his daughter and described how she witnessed the ride’s restraint come undone.

The account does not provide the man’s name, the date of the fall or further details about the circumstances. It also does not specify where the man fell from on the ride, whether anyone else was injured, or what happened immediately afterward. The location of the birthday celebration within the park was not provided.

The Goliath had passed its most recent inspection, the summary states. It does not give the inspection date, identify who conducted the inspection or provide details about its scope. No findings from an investigation into the fall, explanation of how the restraint came undone or official statement from the park were included in the information available.

The brother-in-law’s account offers a family member’s description of the events and the man’s final words, but the words themselves were not provided. The summary also does not identify the daughter or give details about her account beyond saying she witnessed the restraint come undone.

Without additional information, the precise sequence of events and the cause of the fall remain unclear. The available account establishes that the man died after falling from the ride and notes that the coaster had passed its most recent inspection; it does not provide further conclusions about the incident.
