The death at Six Flags Over Georgia is at least the seventh there, according to the Doan Law Firm, which tracks amusement park accidents and represents victims.

Brian Avery, a University of Florida professor with an expertise in amusement ride and device operations, told the BBC that rollercoasters are not federally regulated, leaving it up to states to determine the necessary safety protocols and maintenance procedures. "When these types of tragedies happen, you got to get to the bottom as to why, so we can move forward and address those issues so that they never happen again," Avery said.
佛罗里达大学教授、专长于游乐设施和设备操作的布莱恩·艾弗里告诉BBC，过山车并未受到联邦监管，因此由各州自行制定必要的安全协议和维护程序。 "当这类悲剧发生时，你必须查明原因，这样我们才能继续前进，解决这些问题，确保它们不再发生，"艾弗里说。
He explained that one of the main factors considered when designing a rollercoaster is how to contain the rider.
他解释说，设计过山车时考虑的主要因素之一是如何容纳乘客。
This specifically includes determining where to place their harness - something that changes depending on the ride type.
这特别包括确定安全带的位置——这会根据游乐设施类型而变化。
"We design these rides, the industry does, to flirt with danger," Avery said. "We're taking people up to the edge, but we're not actually putting them in danger.
"我们设计这些游乐设施，行业也是如此，目的是与危险调情，"艾弗里说。 "我们把人带到边缘，但实际上并没有让他们处于危险之中。
That is the goal." Six Flags is the largest amusement park operator in North America, with 20 amusement parks, 14 water parks and nine resorts across Canada, the US and Mexico. The death in Georgia comes just weeks after one of Six Flags' parks in southern California announced it would close the popular X2 roller coaster after more than 100 people alleged brain injuries from the ride.
这就是目标。" 六旗乐园是北美最大的游乐园运营商，拥有20个游乐园、14个水上乐园和9个度假区，遍布加拿大、美国和墨西哥。 佐治亚州的死亡事件发生在南加州六旗乐园之一宣布关闭热门X2过山车数周后，此前已有100多人声称该过山车造成脑部损伤。
Six Flags said that ride had passed a range of safety tests, but that it had decided to retire the attraction because it was "the right thing to do".
六旗乐园表示该游乐设施通过了一系列安全测试，但决定退役，因为这是"正确的做法"。
