A deposition revealed new information about an incident where a 52-year-old woman fell to her death from a roller coaster at Six Flags Over Texas last year.
Rosa Esparza died in July 2013 after falling from the Texas Giant. Esparza's family is suing Six Flags and the manufacturer of the roller coaster, Gerstlauer Amusement Rides, for $1 million.
In a deposition just released, a Gerstlauer Amusement Rides executive said the park is negligent because the ride attendant did not check the lap bar restraint and the operator didn't stop the ride.
"She gave statements shortly after Ms. Esparza's death that she thought the lap bar was a little too high and not in what she thought was the proper position and yet she did not stop the train and that was her responsibility."
