What type of injuries have people sustained in recent roller coaster accidents?
Most recent is a decapitation. A teenager was decapitated Saturday after being struck by the Batman roller coaster at Six Flags. Park officials said the 17-year-old ignored “Danger Zone” and “Do Not Enter” signs as he hopped a pair of 6-foot fences into a restricted area. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the boy, whose name was not released, was visiting the theme park with a South Carolina church group. Batman: The Ride, which opened in 1997, takes thrill-seekers on a 2-minute ride that tops out at 50 mph. The ride will remain shut down until Monday.
