"Well, All The Information Is Inaccurate and Incorrect, But, Wow, Did We Report It To You Fast Or What...?"

Something very disturbing is apparent here.

And something else very disturbing is not so apparent.


(CNN) -- A roller coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio has been temporarily closed as a precautionary measure after a woman died last week on a similar ride at Six Flags over Texas in Arlington.

No injuries have been reported on the Iron Rattler in San Antonio, which opened in May, but it will remain closed while officials investigate the Six Flags death in Arlington.

Meanwhile, an inquest by the Tarrant County medical examiner's office revealed details Tuesday on how Rosy Esparza died after being ejected from her third-row seat as the Texas Giant roller coaster began a steep descent on the first large hill.

On Friday, Esparza fell about 75 feet, struck a metal beam and came to rest on the metal roof of a tunnel, the inquest found.

Esparza, 52, of Dallas died of multiple traumatic injuries and had extensive trauma to her torso, the medical examiner said. Esparza, who is identified in the report by her maiden name of Rosa Irene Ayala-Gaona, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The manner of her death is pending further investigation and laboratory results, the medical examiner's office said.

At its highest point, the Texas Giant is 153 feet and has a drop of 147 feet, according to the theme park.

The Texas Giant was originally designed in 1990 as an all wooden roller coaster. It was redesigned with a steel track and reopened in April 2011 to mark the theme park's 50th anniversary.

Esparza's son-in-law and his wife were sitting in front of her at the time. Contrary to witness accounts reported by CNN affiliates, Ronald Segovia told CNN he did not hear his mother-in-law mention that her seat did not lock properly.

Segovia also told CNN that Esparza was sitting by herself, contrary to initial reports she was sitting beside her son. Her sons, according to Segovia, were not there.

What is disturbing, and likely preventable, is the tragic loss of life.

Not so apparent, though, are two mentions in the above story.

".....Contrary to witness accounts reported by CNN affiliates, Ronald Segovia told CNN he did not hear his mother-in-law mention that her seat did not lock properly...."

".....Segovia also told CNN that Esparza was sitting by herself, contrary to initial reports she was sitting beside her son. Her sons, according to Segovia, were not there...."

Admittedly, it's been a long time since I was a journalism student.

But, long time notwithstanding, I have a very clear memory of being taught one of journalism's once upon a time most sacred tenets.

Getting it right trumps getting it first.

Apparently, given the reporting in this case, that's no longer true.

That's pretty disturbing.
