Six Flags said it would add seat belts to some of its roller coaster rides after the death of a man at its theme park in Georgia this month.

Six Flags chief executive John Reilly said in a statement Friday the company was “taking additional measures, including adding seat belts on Goliath and other coasters with a similar restraint.”
