## Video Claim
A video posted on X on October 14, 2026, claims the man who died in Atlanta stood up on a Six Flags roller coaster.

> This is the guy that died at Six Flags. Looking at this Video at the beginning makes me think he actually got up out of his seat. What do you think?
## Actual Video Source
The video is from November 28, 2024, showing a man jumping off a roller coaster at Castles N' Coasters in Phoenix after realizing his harness was faulty.
## Man Who Died
Police identified Hassan Kariem, 42, as the man who died in Atlanta on October 12, 2026, after falling from his roller coaster seat.
## Witness Accounts
Witnesses reported Kariem fell out of his seat, collided with another cart, and crashed onto a structure below without standing up.
## Key takeaway

A November 2024 video from Arizona shows a man jumping off a roller coaster after harness issue, not the man who died in Atlanta in October 2026.
