Feds Investigate Tragic Carnival Ride Accident That Killed Tyre Sampson!

Teen falls to his death at ICON Park in Orlando.

The state that believes regulations are fucking out businesses. The state's governor believes that federal regulations are bad for Floridians. Had there been state regulations on the way they operated amusement park rides, one teen's life would be spared.

Be warned, extremely graphic. Take discretion.

Okay, the tragic death of Tyre Sampson. 

The teen plummeted to his death after falling out of a drop ride in Orlando.

The Orange County Sheriff's department and the U.S. Justice Department and OSHA are involved in the matter. The deadly incident was captured on camera and shared through social.

Tyre’s family has contacted me about the video but they have not decided on whether to take down the video yet. The plan might be to put a fundraiser. Twitter has not responded to my request to cover the video and add a warning.

So let's break this tragedy down.

Sheriff John Mina announced the death of Tyre Sampson, 14.

The Orlando Free Fall, which opened in Orlando’s tourist district in December, takes up to 30 guests high into the air before dropping 400 feet at about 75 mph.

In the video, the boy can be seen falling off the ride as it plummets to the ground.

Tyre Sampson of St. Louis, Missouri passed away.

As witnesses react to the tragedy, ICON Park workers can be heard on the video. The conversation below occurred in a loud, hectic environment, and portions of the conversation are not clearly audible.

It’s not clear what the “light” indicates to the workers, but it appears to be an indication that passengers have been safely secured.

It’s not known how the boy fell from the drop tower.

The company that operates the thrill ride said it is working with authorities to determine what happened.

“Our hearts go out to the family of this young man,” said John Stine, director of sales and marketing for The SlingShot Group.

The ride will remain closed indefinitely, Stine said.

In September 2020, a 21-year-old man fell to his death while conducting a safety check on the StarFlyer attraction at ICON Park.

Authorities said Jacob David Kaminsky was climbing the tower when he fell to the bottom platform. Kaminsky was about halfway up the 450-foot ride, dubbed the world’s tallest swing ride, when he fell, officials said.
