The frantic moments after a 14-year-old boy fell to his death from the Orlando Free Fall ride at ICON Park late Thursday night were all caught on camera.
A 14-year-old boy who was thrown from a ride at Orlando's ICON Park is being remembered as a gentle giant who loved football. Tyre Sampson's father is questioning whether his son should have been allowed on the ride because of his size.
"Why doesn’t this have like the little clippy clip? Like the seatbelt?" the girl said. "The seatbelt? There ain’t any," one of the ride operators told the girl. An inspector with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Affairs, the state agency that oversees the safety of amusement rides, looks over the Orlando Free Fall drop tower ride at Orlando ICON Park.
The inspector from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Affairs did not speak to reporters before leaving the property. It’s unclear how long this investigation will take. Tyre's father says his son began panicking when the ride started – telling friends something didn’t feel right. He now wonders if his son should have been allowed to get on Free Fall at ICON Park in the first place.
