CitationThe victim's mother told the Hartford Courant that her son suffered from cerebral palsy, and that she believes he was "so sickly and handicapped" that she couldn't believe he was allowed to board the ride. According to Six Flags officials, the federal Americans With Disabilities Act prohibits parks from preventing disabled people from boarding an amusement ride as long as they are able to board without assistance from park personnel. Parks can deny patrons access to a ride if they do not meet height or weight requirements established by the manufacturer. In this case, the victim's height of 5 feet 3 inches and weight of 225 pounds were within the ride's design specifications and the victim boarded the ride on his own.In an interview with the Boston Herald, the victim's brother claimed that ride attendants turned the victim away when he attempted to board the same roller coaster during a visit to the park last year.After interviewing witnesses, Agawam Police say that there are no reports indicating that the victim tried to stand up or remove himself from the ride's safety restraints.
Citation(Monday, May 3, 2004) - In the wake of Saturday's fatal accident at Six Flags New England, the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety has suspended the permits of all amusement rides equipped with T-bar-type restraint systems similar to those on the Superman Ride of Steel roller coaster pending further investigation, technical evaluation, testing, and possible redesign.State officials say that the action comes as a "prudent public safety measure." The action affects only a few rides operating in Massachusetts.The Department says that a detailed report of their investigation into Saturday's accident will be released to the public later this week.
