A popular Georgia roller coaster has
reopened after a teenager who wandered into a restricted area was
struck and killed over the weekend.
A spokeswoman for Six Flags Over Georgia says the Batman-themed
ride reopened Wednesday morning after being inspected by the state
Department of Labor.
Seventeen-year-old Asia LeeShawn Ferguson IV of Columbia, S.C.,
died Saturday after police said he hopped over two fences, walked
into the path of the coaster and was decapitated.
The state agency has recommended that the park near Atlanta post
more fences, signs and security to prevent another accident.

Why would a child hop two fences to retrieve a hat? Especially a restricted area. Dumb.
