‘A horrific, rare event’: Six Flags incident may trigger lawsuits over safety

Following the fatal incident in which a patron at Six Flags Over Georgia was thrown from a roller coaster, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution spoke to GA Managing Partner Evan Echenthal about the potential liabilities that may stem from this incident and what needs to happen as investigations unfold.

“It’s a horrific, rare event. Everybody takes their kids to the amusement park. The last thing you want to think of is somebody getting thrown off.”
