WHAT HAPPED TO ASIA LEESHAWN FERGUSON?
The fast-moving Batman: The Ride coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia is one of the more popular attractions at the park. Most people try to stay away from the restricted areas fenced off around the ride because they don’t want to risk being hurt, but for reasons that officials still don’t know, 17-year-old Asia Leeshawn Ferguson of South Carolina hopped two six-foot fences and entered an area he wasn’t supposed to be in.
Witnesses told police that they believed the teen was trying to find a hat that he had lost on the ride. Asia wasn’t alone; he brought a friend along with him, but as the train car was going full speed at 50 miles per hour, Asia was hit. The force of the blow decapitated him.
It’s debatable who’s at fault in cases like these: the amusement park for not securing these dangerous areas better or the victims who ignore the warning signs and put themselves in jeopardy.
IS ASIA LEESHAWN FERGUSON VIDEO AVAILABLE?
Asia Leeshawn Ferguson’s video is no longer available. Indeed, the footages are too graphic to be made public.
Most probably, a Reddit user had uploaded the recording online. Indeed, nobody appreciated the act which was uploaded without consent from the victim’s family.
One of the theme part visitors, Kevin Bowland spoke to the Associated Press about the accident. Reportedly, he calls his death a tragedy and is surprised how he entered the restricted area so easily.
In fact, other netizens were questioning Six Flags Over Georgia’s security. Even after 13 years of the incident, nobody can forget him.
Until now, nobody has figured out why he jumped into the constricted area. Speculations are suggesting he was trying to get his hat.
WHO WAS ASIA LEESHAWN FERGUSON?
Asia Leeshawn Ferguson was a 17-years-old boy from South Carolina. Reportedly, he was a part of the Church group that visited the amusement park in Georgia.
Indeed, his parents, Asia Ferguson III and Letha Ferguson were there too. We send our prayers and condolences to his father and mother.
Moreover, Asia’s aunt, Latashia Jenkins was devasted by the news of his death. She spoke in an interview claiming he was more like a brother to her.
Furthermore, his father, Ferguson III had to fight tears at the funeral. Reportedly, he didn’t blame anybody for his son’s death.
INVESTIGATION OF TEEN HEAD HIT BY ROLLER COASTER;
According to park spokeswoman Hela Sheth, the teen scaled two six-foot fences that were clearly marked with signs that read “Danger” and “Do Not Enter.” He was with another friend at the time.
At some point, the coaster hit the victim.
Cobb County Police Spokesman Sgt. Dana Pearce says it does appear there was adequate warning of the risk. “It would be hard to imagine how somebody could not read those signs and yet traverse both those fences.”
