A Georgia family is grieving the loss of Hassan Kariem, 42, who died after falling from the Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia in Austell. According to his sister, Andrea Clark, Hassan had recently overcome cancer and survived a vehicle fire just weeks before the accident. He worked as an IT manager for Atlanta Public Schools and was known to his loved ones as a caring, hardworking man.

❤️ “He Was My Hero”: Clark described her brother as someone who always stepped up for his family and helped raise his fiancée’s daughter. Remembering their close bond, she called him an amazing person and her hero. His sudden death has left loved ones struggling to understand how such a tragedy could happen.

🕊️ Family Asks People to Respect His Memory: Clark also expressed anger and sadness over people sharing photos and videos of her brother’s final moments. She urged the public to stop circulating the footage, saying society had gone too far. Her family hopes people will remember Hassan for the person he was, rather than for the circumstances of his death.

🎢 Investigation Underway: Authorities are investigating what caused Hassan to fall from the Goliath coaster, which reaches speeds of around 70 mph. Six Flags has said it is cooperating with local investigators, and similar rides were temporarily closed for safety reviews, according to the report. The cause of the accident has not yet been determined. As his family mourns, their focus remains on honoring his life and supporting one another through an unimaginable loss.
