A 17 year-old boy, Asia LeeShawn Furgeson who was visiting Six Flags over Georgia theme park, lost his hat. The boy then climbed two fences both marked "dangerous," went into the area where the Batman ride was running, he got caught in the move ride, and decapitated. No word on if he ever got his hat back. The Batman ride suspends people with a harness, so the legs of the riders were what actually hit the boy, picked him up, and threw him into a pole. The report does not mention if anyone hurt their leg, or foot, the second report below mentions another incident involving a worker. Six Flags sent out this statement:

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.

Ever try to tell a 17 year-old what to do? They do exactly the opposite.

The boy’s family was very shocked at what happened. The family comments below. So sad.
