Your Coaster Bar Clicked. That Doesn’t Mean You’re Safe.
On October 12, 2026, Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem was ejected from Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia and died. Four other riders were hurt. I've fat tested Goliath on this channel twice, and a lot of you asked me about it. In this video: what happened, what investigators have confirmed, what we still don't know, both of my Goliath fit tests, and 16 rules to keep yourself safe on any roller coaster, plus size or not. My deepest condolences to his family, his students, and everyone at Wesley International Academy. I'm not an engineer. I've sat in more test seats than almost anybody. Always follow posted ride rules and listen to the ride crew. Never force a restraint. Note: this was the first time I wrote a script for a video to try to ensure I covered everything possible. Sorry if it comes off a bit awkward. I wanted to make sure I was being respectful, as best I could, and teaching people well.
