A list of events that occurred on August 16 related to Six Flags.
- 1981 – A 20-year-old park employee from Middletown Township, New Jersey falls to his death from the Rolling Thunder roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure during a routine test run. An investigation by the New Jersey Labor Department concluded that the man may not have secured himself with the safety bar. A park representative later confirmed this conclusion, saying that the employee "may have assumed an unauthorized riding position that did not make use of safety restraints." The ride was inspected, and the Labor Department concluded that the ride was "operationally and mechanically sound."
