A woman was visiting Six Flags over Texas in Arlington for
the first time when she fell out of her seat on The Texas Giant, the world’s
tallest steel-hybrid roller-coaster. Sitting next to the victim on the ride was
her young son who was reported by witnesses to be screaming "My mom, my
mom – we've got to get my mom... she's gone!" as the woman fell to her
death.
What allowed the victim to fall out of her seat is still
under investigation, but the family will almost certainly be entitled to file a
wrongful death lawsuit.
The ride has been temporarily shut down as investigators gather evidence on
what could have caused this tragic accident.
A Dangerous History
The woman who fell was not the first victim of The Texas
Giant, but hers is the first death on the popular ride. According to the Texas
Department of Insurance Records, 14 other injuries have been caused by The
Texas Giant in the past five years, indicating that Six Flags has long been
aware of the dangers this ride poses.
When you are injured or a loved one is killed at an
