He survived cancer twice and escaped a car fire just weeks before his life was tragically cut short 💔🕊️
Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem, a 42-year-old Atlanta educator, passed on October 12 after being ejected from the ‘Goliath’ roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia, according to police. His family says he had overcome two battles with cancer and recently survived a car fire alongside his daughter. A family friend also shared that he had endured a serious battle with COVID-19.
Kariem spent more than 12 years at Wesley International Academy, where he served as an IT manager after previously working as a technology teacher and robotics coach. His school remembered him as a beloved colleague and friend whose impact reached students and staff alike.
Cobb County police are investigating what happened, and Six Flags has temporarily closed similar attractions as a precaution.
Our hearts are with his family, loved ones, students, and everyone affected by this tragedy.
Rest in peace, Hassan 🕊️

This ride was poorly designed for these type of incidents. Praying for the family through the healing process.
