Six Flags adding seat belts to Goliath rollercoaster following death

Six Flags has announced it will be adding seat belts to some of its rollercoasters after a man fell to his death on the Goliath ride in the US state of Georgia earlier this month.

The company's CEO John Reilly said in a letter to customers late on Friday that the company is reinforcing safety measure across its parks, including adding seat belts to Goliath and similar rides, which already feature lap bar restraints.

The chain of amusement parks has 34 locations across North America, with over 220 rollercoasters in total.
