Six Flags announced Saturday that new safety measures, including the addition of seatbelts, will be implemented on the Goliath roller coaster at its Georgia park. The announcement comes nearly two weeks after Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem, 42, was killed when he was ejected from the ride.

The hyper coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia will remain closed while inspections and investigations into Kariem's death continue. The company stated its commitment to making changes to the ride following the incident.

Kariem, an IT manager, teacher, and robotics coach, was at the park with family to celebrate his niece's birthday. He was ejected from the ride and fell beneath the attraction, according to the Cobb County Police Department. He was seated next to his niece at the time of the incident.

In addition to the seatbelts, which will be added to the Goliath's existing lap-bar restraints, Six Flags is engaging independent engineers and ride inspection specialists. These experts will conduct a comprehensive review of safety procedures across all of the company's rides and attractions.

Six Flags has pledged to "carefully evaluating their findings and taking appropriate action to further strengthen our standards and culture of safety." The investigation into the incident, which also reportedly injured other patrons, is ongoing.

The Goliath roller coaster, located in Austell, Georgia, reaches speeds of up to 70 mph and an elevation of 200 feet. It first opened in 2006.

Following the fatal incident, Six Flags temporarily closed nine similar roller coasters across its parks as a precautionary measure. These included Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey.

As of Saturday, eight of those nine coasters remain closed and are slated to receive seatbelts or other restraint enhancements. One coaster, Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain, has since reopened.
