Man dies after falling from rollercoaster and ‘hitting parts of the ride’ | 5 News

Passengers descend safety stairs beside a stopped rollercoaster train in aerial footage posted by 5 News. The accompanying narration reports that a man died at the scene after falling while the ride was moving and striking its structure.

The broadcaster says the ride was closed and an investigation began. Its brief report shows staff assisting passengers, then pulls back to a wider view of the theme park.

The Short reached nearly 100,000 views in its first twelve hours, far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for this format. It also comes during a busier day across 5 News, with channel views running at more than four times their usual daily level.

There is an important discrepancy in the report: the voiceover identifies Six Flags Over Texas, while the video's description places the incident at Six Flags Georgia. The two also give different ages for the man who died.
