A man who died while on a Florida roller coaster in September flew forward and struck his head on a seat multiple times, his girlfriend told investigators, according to a sheriff’s report released Thursday.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said in the report that the death of Kevin Rodriguez Zavala, 32, who the medical examiner ruled died of multiple blunt injuries, was deemed accidental in nature.

Rodriguez Zavala was unresponsive after going on the Stardust Racers roller coaster at Universal’s recently opened Universal Epic Universe in Orlando on Sept. 17, officials said at the time.
