‘Raging Bull’ at Six Flags Great America closes after deadly incident in Georgia

Passengers descend a roller coaster's catwalk in evacuation footage included in NBC Chicago's short report. The images follow eyewitness accounts of a fatal accident on Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia.

The report says a man died after being ejected from the coaster. According to the station's description, several other people were injured. Six Flags subsequently closed similar attractions across its parks, including Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois. The fatal accident described in the report occurred in Georgia, not on Raging Bull.

The upload drew roughly 27,000 views in eight hours, already well above the station's usual full first day for a Short.

NBC Chicago includes accounts from two witnesses. Logan Conner describes seeing the man leave his seat, while another witness recounts the fall in a video call. The report then shows the remaining passengers being evacuated from the stopped ride.
