I wonder if she really fell out or if she happened to glance down and spot the funnel cake stand below her...

News reports are coming out that the reason the workers didn't double check the harnesses is because they were too busy watching 'Throw momma from the train' on their iphones....

Family has hired a lawyer. This probably isnt going to end well for Six Flags.
http://www.dallasnews.com/news/metro...first-time.ece For Rosy Esparza, it was her first trip to Six Flags Over Texas. Her son on his Facebook page described his mother as adventuresome and said she had been having a good time at the park. The Dallas mother died Friday evening when witnesses say a restraint came loose and she plummeted to the ground from the Texas Giant, a hybrid steel and wooden roller coaster. Family members of Esparza confirmed her name but said they were not ready to comment further. One family member said an attorney had been retained to represent the family. But on his Facebook page, her adult son, Amado Esparza, wrote in Spanish: “I’ve never discovered a day as long as this one. It’s very sad that I lost my mom, but I’m happy that I was able to enjoy her to the maximum while she was alive.” Neighbors in their southeast Oak Cliff neighborhood said Rosy Esparza lived with her husband, Antonio, Amado Esparza and a teenage son. The couple also has at least one daughter. One neighbor said Antonio Esparza is a preacher. Maria Padron, one of the family’s neighbors, said Rosy Esparza was very religious and frequently invited people to her home to study the Bible. “We cooked a lot for each other; anything you can think of we made for one another,” Padron said. “Tamales and rare Mexican espresso was our trade. I’m going to miss those simple days of just hearing her knock on the door.” Padron said Rosy Esparza was a “woman who lived for her family.” Alfred Cannon, another neighbor, said he had been talking to Amado outside the family’s home Friday and had asked him to work on a water heater. He said Amado said he would have to do it later because he was headed to pick his mom up at Six Flags. Later, he received text messages from Amado about his mother having died at the amusement park. “Her belt went lose and she flew away,” one of the text messages said.

I was at worlds of fun years ago with my wife and two kids. we were in line for the Detinator (A ride consisting of twin 200-foot towers. Riders blast-off and head straight for the sky at 45 m.p.h.). we're gonna be on the next ride...so we're right up front watching the current riders get buckled in. I watched them pass this girl and not buckle her. she was a teeny bopper looking thing and she seemed somewhat oblivious that she'd been skipped. I mentioned it to my wife. they passed her up a second time and I said something out loud to them.....you didn't get her buckle or something. I was ignored. I said something again and no one responded and then they released the chairs in prep for liftoff. what I mean is the chairs are completely immobile and just before they let them go....they release them and they kind of bob up and down a little...until the REAL release that shoots you into the air. anyways....when they did that first release...after I'd said twice "hey you missed that girls buckle"....I FREAKED OUT! I really thought shit was gonna go down. so I literally scream "her buckle her buckle!!!!!" and this jagoff punk kid looks at me like I'm crazy....and casually walks over and finally buckles her buckle. that little mother****er! so now everybody is staring at me like I'm insane! I mean....damn....the girl never said a word....I wonder had I said nothing if she too would have remained silent. anyways...it was rather embarrassing...but better than watching her die in front of us....

I'm pretty sure gravity nixed any chance of her flying.
