AUSTELL, Ga. (AP) -- State regulators say Six Flags Over Georgia must
increase the size and number of warning signs near a popular roller
coaster that hit and killed a teen.
Police say 17-year-old Asia LeeShawn Ferguson IV of Columbia, S.C.
scaled two fences and wandered into a restricted area where he was
decapitated by the roller coaster.
The Batman ride reopened Wednesday following the Saturday accident.
But State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond says the park must make
signs bigger, post more of them and add the words "extreme danger"
within 10 days.
Thurmond says the park met all other safety standards.

He scaled two fences to wander into a restricted area. An additional
warning sign or two probably wouldn't have stopped him.

I heard he was there with a church group and was trying to retrieve
something he dropped while riding the 'coaster.
EIther his Bible or a condom.

Usually, to the extent that it's eliminated, it's eliminated by drugs or
gunfire.
This was a somewhat statistically unusual way to eliminate a portion of it.
