 The Tarrant County Medical Examiner says the woman thrown from The Texas Giant at Six Flags Over Texas Friday night died of “multiple traumatic injuries due to [a] fall from roller coaster.” 
 
 Her time of death is listed as 7 p.m. And the coroner officially lists the manner of death as “accident.” 
 
 The coroner names the 52-year-old Dallas woman as Rosa Ayala-Goana. Her family told our reporters that her name was Rosy Esparza. The Tarrant County ME’s office has confirmed that her husband’s last name is Esparza. 
 
 She turned 52 on June 28. 
 
 As we reported, the Texas Giant will remain closed until Six Flags finishes its investigation, which could last months. Gerstlauer Amusement Rides, the German firm that manufactured the Giant’s cars, is sending investigators to Arlington this week to assist with the inquiry. Arlington police will leave the investigation to Six Flags and Gerstlauer officials. 
 
 Six Flags’ Chairman Jim Reid-Anderson said Monday morning the amusement park operator will have no further comment on the incident until after Six Flags and Gerstlauer’s investigations are finished. 
 
 Said Reid-Anderson in a morning conference call with analysts, “We’ve been here throughout the weekend to support our team as we work through this tragic event. Utilizing both internal and external experts we are investigating the cause of the accident, and until that process is complete with have no additional information to share with you about the incident. The ride has been closed. And you can rest assured that it will remain closed until we are certain that it is safe to ride. 
 
 “Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family and we are providing them support as best as we can. We ask that you keep the guest’s family in your prayers.” ||||| The death of a Dallas woman who fell from the Texas Giant roller coaster Friday was only the second guest fatality in the park’s 52-year history. 
 
 Although serious accidents are rare, Six Flags Over Texas visitors have contacted The Dallas Morning News with their concerns about the park’s staffing levels and what they perceive as safety lapses. 
 
 When asked about such concerns, a park spokeswoman said in an email that “all rides are maintained to the highest standards.” 
 
 “The safety and security of our guests and employees is our No. 1 priority,” Six Flags spokeswoman Sharon Parker wrote Sunday. 
 
 However, park officials have declined to release information about what may have caused Rosy Esparza’s fall from the Texas Giant, saying “it would be a disservice to the family to speculate.” 
 
 People who said they witnessed events at the park Friday reported that the woman had problems with her safety restraint before she slipped from the car as it went down a hill and into a turn. 
 
 Her relatives say they have hired a lawyer and declined to comment. 
 
 But the death brought up bad memories for some who have no connection to the latest accident. 
 
 James O’Neal, 53, who lives in Denton County, said he had been a frequent Six Flags visitor starting in the 1960s. He said he returned two summers ago with his children and was disappointed. 
 
 “I found that half the kids’ rides were inoperable due to lack of staff,” he said. 
 
 O’Neal said employees didn’t always check the restraints on the children’s rides. He said he made sure that his children were secured. 
 
 “I have not been back to Six Flags since that time,” he said. 
 
 Six Flags said in its written statement Sunday that its employees get extensive training. 
 
 Stephanie Hudson of Arlington said she and her family visited Six Flags for her son’s birthday in January when a restraint on the Runaway Mine Train came loose. 
 
 She said she raised concerns about the safety bar to a worker before the ride started, but attendants were distracted by a scuffle between two visitors that had occurred a few minutes earlier. 
 
 “She just looked at me and walked away,” Hudson said. 
 
 No one was injured, but her husband held down their daughter for the final descent through a dark tunnel, she said. 
 
 She said they complained to the park’s management and an employee told them the incident was not common. 
 
 The park said Sunday that about half of its operating costs are dedicated to maintenance and safety “and we continue to invest in this area.” 
 
 But Hudson said the accident Friday gave her chills as she recalled her daughter’s experience in January. 
 
 Injuries on amusement park rides are supposed to be reported to the Texas Department of Insurance. But there does not appear to be an independent reporting system for safety concerns that don’t result in harm. 
 
 Alleena Odom, a longtime Six Flags customer, said that on a recent visit, there were noticeably fewer employees on the grounds. 
 
 “You can actually go places in the park and not even see an employee,” she said. 
 
 And some ride operators — including one at the Roaring Rapids — were too distracted by cellphones, Odom said. 
 
 But Parker, the Six Flags spokeswoman, said employees are not permitted to use their cellphones on duty. 
 
 The Roaring Rapids was the site of the park’s only other guest fatality. An Arkansas woman drowned and 10 others were injured in 1999 when one of its rafts capsized. 
 
 “To me, they’re understaffed and it’s interfering with safety issues,” Odom said of her recent experience. 
 
 Six Flags has reported a dozen ride injuries to the state since last summer, according to figures from the state Insurance Department. 
 
 Lawsuit filings in Tarrant County did not show a large number of injuries on roller coasters. In the last five years, at least 15 lawsuits have been filed against Six Flags. 
 
 Only two, though, involved allegations of injuries on thrill rides. The others generally involved injuries on water rides and slips and falls. 
 
 Rides in Texas are inspected annually by individuals or firms hired by amusement parks or their insurers. The state Insurance Department relies on the diligence of insurance companies, which have a financial interest in making sure rides are safe. 
 
 The Texas Giant will remain closed until Six Flags finishes its investigation. Representatives of Gerstlauer Amusement Rides, the German firm that manufactured the Giant’s cars, will arrive in Arlington this week to assist with the inquiry. 
 
 There isn’t expected to be an extensive independent investigation into Esparza’s death. Arlington police have found no reason to treat the accident as a criminal case. 
 
 The Tarrant County medical examiner’s office has not announced the cause and manner of death in the case yet. 
 
 A 2000 U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission listed three typical causes of amusement ride injuries. They are mechanical failures in the ride, operator error and “consumer behavior.” Operator errors could include a ride’s operations or its maintenance. 
 
 The federal agency tallied amusement ride fatalities between 1987 and 2004. The deaths ranged from zero in 1990 to eight in 1988. 
 
 On the same day as the Texas Giant accident, a boat on a thrill ride at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, rolled backward down a hill and flipped over in water. All seven people on the boat were injured. 
 
 But the Great American Thrills blog warned people not to “rush to judgment” about the two incidents. 
 
 “It should not be lost on anyone, but you should know — your odds are far greater of being injured driving to your local amusement park than they are inside your local amusement park,” the blog’s author wrote. “In addition, if you do not feel confident in a ride — you always, always have the choice of simply asking to be let out.”

– Injury, it seems, is nothing new on and around the Six Flags roller coaster where a woman died last week. Between April 2008 and April 2013, the park reported 14 injuries tied to the Texas Giant, though three occurred before or after patrons rode it, the AP reports. The gravest injuries were apparently concussions and strained muscles—but with the park reporting the data itself, "The numbers that we hear about are typically the tip of the iceberg," says a safety analyst. And while fatal roller coaster accidents are rare, "Most times that you have death accidents, it was something either ignorant or human error," adds a safety inspector for amusement parks. Meanwhile, the coroner says Friday's victim received "multiple traumatic injuries" in her fall, the Dallas Morning News reports. Her name, officials say, was Rosa Ayala-Goana, not Rosy Esparza, as her family had said; Esparza is her husband's last name. Amid word that there may have been a problem with her harness, the inspector notes: "At the end of the day, it comes down to whether or not the person fits ... If the harness locks normally, without forcing it, it's OK. And the final say is up to the ride operator to tell you, 'I'm sorry, you can't ride.'"
