Accident report in 14-year-old's Florida park ride death says seat was locked
ORLANDO -- The seat of a teen who fell to his death from an amusement park ride in Florida last week was still locked, according to an accident report from the state.
Sampson came out of the seat when the magnets engaged to slow the ride during the descent, according to the report, which was based on ride employee witnesses and was obtained by CNN. Sampson's father, Yarnell Sampson, raised that question Friday, telling CNN:"My son was 6'5", 340. So, he's a big guy."
