跟进:六旗宣布为「歌利亚」等过山车加装安全带:佐治亚州致命坠落事故后九台同类过山车停运待检

六旗娱乐公司(Six Flags Entertainment Corporation)总裁兼首席执行官 John Reilly 10月23日发表声明称,公司将为位于佐治亚州科布县(Cobb County)的 Six Flags Over Georgia 乐园「歌利亚」(Goliath)过山车加装安全带,采用类似束缚装置的其他过山车也将同步升级。Reilly 在声明中说:「我们正在加强各乐园的安全防范,并采取额外措施,包括为『歌利亚』及束缚方式类似的其他过山车加装安全带。」
「歌利亚」目前继续关闭,等待必要的安全审查与放行;州与地方官员对10月12日事故的调查仍在进行。10月12日,42岁的 Atlanta 居民 Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem 从「歌利亚」座位上被甩出坠亡,另有四名未成年乘客受伤。调查人员尚未公布事故原因;目击者称,事发时看到 Kariem 从座位上弹起、头朝下摔回车厢后被甩出,当天早些时候乘坐过该项目的部分游客曾对束缚装置表示担忧。「歌利亚」全程约3分半钟,最高约200英尺、时速最高约70英里,原有束缚为压住乘客大腿的「蚌壳式」压杆,没有安全带。
除「歌利亚」外,六旗在美国与加拿大另外五座乐园的八台过山车也已暂时关闭,分别位于伊利诺伊州 Gurnee、新泽西州 Jackson Township、北卡罗来纳州 Charlotte、俄亥俄州 Mason 与加拿大安大略省 Vaughan;九台停运过山车均由瑞士厂商 Bolliger & Mabillard 制造、采用类似的蚌壳式束缚装置。六旗尚未公布这些过山车何时重开,并称已聘请独立工程师与游乐设施检验专业人员,审查旗下全部乐园所有项目的安全程序。非六旗旗下的佛罗里达州 SeaWorld Orlando 与加拿大 Montreal 的 La Ronde 也曾各暂时关闭一台使用蚌壳式束缚的过山车;SeaWorld 的 Mako 过山车在停运一周后已于本周二重开,美联社10月24日已就两家乐园是否计划加装安全带等升级向其询问,尚未获回复。

Follow-Up: Six Flags to Add Seat Belts to Goliath and Similar Coasters After Fatal Georgia Fall; Nine Rides With the Same Restraint Remain Closed
Six Flags Entertainment Corporation president and CEO John Reilly said in a statement on October 23 that the company will install seat belts on the Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia in Cobb County, Georgia, and that other coasters with similar restraints will receive the same upgrade. "We are reinforcing safety precautions at our parks and taking additional measures, including adding seat belts on Goliath and other coasters with a similar restraint," Reilly said.
Goliath remains closed pending necessary safety reviews and clearances, and state and local officials are still investigating the October 12 accident. On October 12, Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem, 42, of Atlanta, was ejected from his seat on Goliath and died; four other passengers, all minors, were injured. Investigators have not said what went wrong; witnesses said they saw Kariem rise up out of his seat and fall headfirst back into the cart before being ejected, and some people who rode Goliath earlier that day had raised concerns about its restraints. The roughly 3.5-minute ride reaches a height of about 200 feet and speeds of up to 70 mph, and its restraint is a padded clamshell lap bar across riders' thighs, with no seat belt.
In addition to Goliath, eight more Six Flags coasters have been temporarily closed at five other parks in the United States and Canada: Gurnee, Illinois; Jackson Township, New Jersey; Charlotte, North Carolina; Mason, Ohio; and Vaughan, Ontario. All nine offline coasters were manufactured by the Swiss company Bolliger & Mabillard and feature similar clamshell restraints. Six Flags has not said when the rides will reopen, and says it has enlisted independent engineers and ride-inspection professionals to review safety procedures for all rides at its parks. Two non-Six Flags parks, SeaWorld Orlando in Florida and La Ronde in Montreal, Canada, also temporarily closed one clamshell-restraint coaster apiece; SeaWorld's Mako reopened on Tuesday after a week offline, and The Associated Press emailed both parks on October 24 asking whether seat belts or other upgrades were planned.
