Coincidentally, the last time I was at Six Flags Over GA was the week after the person got decapitated by the Batman coaster.

That one was because the person was stupid though. They hopped the fence to get into the restricted area.

Very true. I do feel horrible for the person he collided with.

Same thing happened at cedar point the day we were there. Someone jumped the fence to get a fallen item and got struck by the train and decapitated

There was no details of manner of death for James Young. Just that he was struck and pronounced dead at the scene. A separate decapitation event occurred in Six Flags over Georgia with The Batman.
