It was relevant to the quoted message, and soC message also stated outside of b&m's, and am still referring to outside of b&m.
Will there be a government report like there is for plane crahses about the causes of the accident?
I'm not sure in Georgia, but we got a (somewhat brief) report after Stardust Racers about what happened that night.
The company is about to be sued into oblivion and if they're at fault they deserve it and more. This is the most horrifying theme park incident I've ever seen.
I think ICON Park is worse, but this is also really bad. This one's scary to me because it looks random, rather than directly provoked by something...
I lived in Orlando around the time that happened. This is worse. The victim flew over the train and hurt other people in the process. People came off the train covered in his blood. It's also a major amusement park on a national holiday so a lot of people saw it.
From what I have found, I think Goliath has a row verification like Apollo’s Chariot. I’m not 100% sure on this though.
If this is true, the problem is much more unexplainable besides complete neglect. If Goliath does not have harness verification, and operators pushed and pushed until the harness finally locked then that's poor training on the operators part. One locked pawl is not the same as several.

Interesting thread from a former ride op for Nitro. If you don’t want to click to see the rest, they go on to say a larger rider sat in the seat and the restraint again false verified on the second click. That restraint then popped open during the ride but the riders were able to hold it down.
I’m not familiar with this person or their credibility but thought it was interesting enough to share. If it’s true, it’s the only insight I’ve seen so far on what possibly could have happened on Goliath.
Is it fair to say this might be the worst incident since lightnin loops? At least in the Six Flags chain it has to be
There have been a number of instances of people being thrown from trains since then. New Texas Giant and Ride of Steel are the ones I immediately recall.
