The mom who died from the Six Flags’ Texas Giant roller coaster has been identified as Rosy Esparza. The woman passed away after a tragic 14 story fall, earlier in the week. After making headlines around the world, the amusement park has responded by issuing a statement via Twitter.
According to multiple eyewitness reports, it would appear that Mrs. Esparza’s tragic passing could have been prevented. Rosy, herself, told ride operators that she didn’t feel secure in her seat. Carmen Brown, a fellow visitor to the park, went on record as saying that:
"They didn't secure her right. One of the employees from the park--one of the ladies--she asked her to click her more than once, and they were like, `As long you heard it click, you're OK.' Everybody else is like, `Click, click, click.' Hers only clicked once. Hers was the only one that went down once, and she didn't feel safe, but they let her still get on the ride.”
Six Flags immediately responded to the slew of negative press, issuing an official statement:
"We are deeply saddened to share that earlier this evening an adult woman died in the park while on the Texas Giant. Park medical staff and local paramedics responded immediately. Since the safety of our guests and employees is our number one priority, the ride has been closed pending further investigation. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends during this difficult time.”
The park also issued the following statement concerning their commitment to safety:
"We are committed to determining the cause of this tragic accident and will utilize every resource throughout this process. It would be a disservice to the family to speculate regarding what transpired. When we have new information to provide, we will do so. Our thoughts, prayers and full support remain with the family."
