I found a bit of updated information. The lawyers for the park definitely have some ammunition to work with.



A 17-year-old boy was killed Saturday when he was struck by the popular Batman ride at Six Flags Over Georgia.

According to a statement from the amusement park, the boy climbed over two six-foot fences around the popular Batman roller coaster

"We do not know why this person was intent on gaining access to this restricted area, as multiple signs clearly state: Danger Zone/Do Not Enter/Authorized Personnel Only," the statement from park spokeswoman Hela Sheth.

"Some witnesses have stated that the individual was trying to retrieve something he had lost," Sheth said. "Others reported that he was trying to touch the ride. This is merely speculation at this point, and we are working with park visitors and local police to learn more."

No one on the ride was injured, Sheath said in the statement. The boy's family was at the park.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family," the Six Flags statement said.

Cobb County police declined to confirm reports that the boy was decapitated, and the park statement did not include that detail. Attempts to reach Six Flags officials for more information have been unsuccessful.

According to Fox 5 TV, the boy was part with a church group visiting the amusement park which jumped a fence around an off-limits area. One of them jumped to grab someone's feet as the Batman ride passed over, and he was decapitated.
