In the latest Six Flags death, the 17-year old boy decapitated at Six Flags was on a church outing with his family. He’d left the park for lunch with a friend, then on his way back in he hopped two fences into a restricted area beneath the Batman roller coaster to retrieve his hat.

The boy’s decapitation death at Six Flags was witnessed by hundreds of people who flooded 911 with calls and the ride was immediately taken out of service.

“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,” said a 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.”
