A woman has fallen to her death from a roller coaster at the Six Flags Over Texas amusement park in Arlington, Texas according to the Daily Mail.
The accident happened on the ‘Texas Giant’ ride at about 6:45 p.m. on Friday evening.
One witness told The Dallas News that the woman had gotten on the ride with her son and that they believe she mustn’t have been strapped in correctly.
Witnesses who saw the woman tumble from the ride directed paramedics to the victim's location.
'She goes up like this. Then when it drops to come down, that's when it (the safety bar) released and she just tumbled,' said Carmen Brown of Arlington. Brown said she was waiting in line to get on the ride when the accident happened.
According to another witness, children were yelling 'we have to get my mom' when the roller coaster car pulled up at the end of the ride. Riders were hysterical and crying, reports KXAS.
People waiting in line for the roller coaster said park employees asked them to get out of line after the accident. The park closed an area of Six Flags around the area of the accident.
