The four park visitors injured and taken to the hospital after a rider was thrown from a roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia were children, police said.
Hassan Kariem, a 42-year-old technology teacher, died shortly before 4 p.m. Monday after being ejected from the high-speed Goliath hypercoaster at the amusement park near Atlanta.
The four children were transported by ambulance with injuries that were not considered life-threatening, according to authorities.
“Because they were all juveniles, no further information can be shared,” E.D. Smith, a public information officer for the Cobb County Police Department, told The Post.

Six Flags plans to reopen the park Friday, though Goliath will remain closed temporarily, a park spokesperson told ABC News on Wednesday.
The accident is being investigated by the Cobb County Police Department’s Major Crimes Unit and Georgia’s Office of the Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire, the agency responsible for overseeing amusement ride safety in the state.
