Conn. man dies in Six Flags coaster accident
A 55-year-old man died yesterday afternoon after he was thrown from a roller coaster at the Six Flags New England amusement park in Agawam (MA).

Stanley J. Morbarsky, of Bloomfield, Conn., was thrown from the popular Superman Ride of Steel roller coaster about 3 p.m., just as it was about to end its run, according to Agawam police Lieutenant Steven Draghetti.

"The train was pulling into its last turn to go into the train station to disembark," Draghetti said last night. "He somehow came out of the car and died as a result of injuries."

Morbarsky, who suffered "multiple traumas," was pronounced dead on arrival at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield about 3:45 p.m., Draghetti said.

Investigators from the state Department of Public Safety and Agawam police last night were probing the cause of the accident on the thrill ride, which can reach speeds of 80 miles per hour.

1. NECN reported that he had CP, too.
CP=Cerebral Palsy

I wonder if that could have contributed somehow to the accident.

Certainly a sad story all around.
