Man Thrown From Superman Ride of Steel

Another ride that was Superman themed at Six Flags New England killed one man in 2004. The 55-year-old man was on the Superman Ride of Steel roller coaster when his restraint somehow broke, causing him to be thrown from the train as it was traveling 80 mph. The man was pronounced dead at the scene, killed from severe trauma. “All of a sudden people started screaming, `Stop the ride, stop the ride, someone has fallen off,’ ” a bystander told WHDH-TV in Boston. “They finally stopped the ride, and it was extreme panic, and we looked, and all the people in the cars were crying . . . and we looked over to the side, and there was a gentleman laying by the fence.”
