14 DAY TRIAL // Six Flags has announced reopening the ride that killed a visitor in July. The ride at Six Flags Over Texas will open its doors to thrill seekers once again, even as the victim's family is suing them for negligence.
Rosa Esparza fell out of the Texas Giant Roller Coaster while visiting with her family. Employees had not properly fastened her in her seat.
Inquisitr reports that the Six Flags amusement park ride is now equipped with new seat belts and restraint bar pads and guests can check if they have properly been secured in their seats before embarking on the ride.
It seems immoral and unethical to reopen the roller coaster while the woman's family are still grieving. Her children saw her fly off her seat and fall to her death onto a metallic rooftop.
Perhaps another fix would be bringing in gigantic safety cushion mats, like the ones used in dangerous gymnastic stunts.
The Esparza’s family are asking for $1million (€752,000) damages in their Six Flags suit. I will keep you updated as the trial progresses.
