AGAWAM, Mass. — A man fell out of a roller coaster and was killed Saturday at the Six Flags New England amusement park.
The Superman Ride of Steel roller coaster was approaching the end of its run when the man fell out, park officials said. He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
The man came out of the ride as it hit a curve, witness Anthony Arroyo said.
The ride was closed, and the incident is under investigation by park staff, police and the state.
Park officials said the roller coaster was inspected Saturday morning and certified for operation prior to the park’s season opening on April 17.
