From what i understand it was just to avoid going around the whole ride to ride again. [Joker moment]When they say the lines here are murder, they mean it[/Joker moment] Sorry; morbid, I know, but couldn't resist

No reason to lose your head over something as minor as that... since he was trespassing... i guess the Batman on that ride is Timothy Drake. And I was looking for the news article from Atlanta but they had taken it down... i do have a quote from it though and keep in mind the so called inadequate fences are both six feet tall and have warning signs all over them.
CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC) - The lawyer representing the family of a teen who was decapitated by a roller coaster in Georgia is looking to find out if they can file a lawsuit against Six Flags Theme Park. According to the lawyer's investigation it's been discovered that the teenager isn't the first person to be killed by the same roller coaster.
The death of 17-year-old Asia Leeshawn Ferguson has been ruled as an accident.
Police in Georgia are ruling out reports that Ferguson had been trying to retrieve a hat inside a restricted area near the Batman Ride at Six Flags.
They say Ferguson may have been trying to take the shortest route to get to the ride.
Attorney Lamar Flatt thinks warning signs and fences placed near the ride weren't enough to prevent this tragic death, citing the death of a maintenance worker who was killed by the same ride in 2002.
The ride was closed after he was killed. Investigators say the coaster will stay closed until the Georgia Department of Labor inspects it.

Thanks for posting this article! I realize that a young man has lost his life, but honestly, it's beyond stupid to sue a theme park for going into a dangerous area like that. I may not be an attorney, but that pretty much sounds to me like he was trespassing/ being in a place that he didn't belong to be in. Sweet Bottle City of Kandor, this is ridiculous Does anyone else conjure up memories of the "Caution! This Coffee is Hot!" lawsuits from the late 90's when they read this news?
