A 14-year-old boy died after falling from an amusement park ride in Orlando, according to local reports.
The teenager was on the “Orlando Free-Fall” ride at ICON Park when he fell to his death around 11 p.m. Thursday.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the boy was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died from his injuries.
Witnesses alerted officials after the tragic ordeal when the boy flew off the tower attraction.
Orange County police did not release the identity of the 14-year-old boy.
The “Orlando Free-Fall” opened in December 2021 and claims to be the tallest free-standing drop tower.The ride stands 430 feet tall and can hold up to 30 people.
The ride spins around a gigantic tower after it reaches peak level in the air. Riders are positioned forward with their faces at the ground before dropping at 75 miles per hour from 400 feet up.
An investigation into the tragic incident is ongoing.
In 2020, a worker died while performing maintenance on a different attraction at ICON Park. Jacob Kaminsky fell about 60 feet to his death, according to the Orlando Sentinel. He was 21 years old.
A very high percentage of black people don’t like to follow the rules, or laws as if they don’t care, or understand the reason for the rules or laws, don’t care about the consequences, and put themselves at grave danger. They insist on making everything their own (doing things different from the norm) in hopes their way will catch on, others will follow, and they can claim to be the one that started it in attempt to be “COOL”. Who was sitting next to him (or close enough to see him and hear conversation with others)? Did they see him unbuckle himself as a possible dare from a friend? Benjamin Crump is attempting to sue the park for somehow causing the boys death. I sure would like to see a thorough investigation before the possible stupid actions of a boy leads to the park being sued unjustifiably. I’d also like to see what kind of real criminal record this “boy” has. Benjamin Crump has a habit of posting photos of his clients when they were much younger than current photos in hope of making his client look like a “Choir Boy” rather than the mischievous criminal teen that they really are. If the park was negligent, they should pay, if the boy unbuckled himself (he looked like a fat kid on the news, maybe felt uncomfortable with the buckle securing him, overlooking the purpose of it, or took a dare from someone) then the park should prevail. I really hope the truth is revealed!!!
you need to look back at white folks stealing for over 400 years, stole land from the indians and black folks. every thing that has been sold on the market has been recalled because there kid was hung on window blinds, high chairs, baby beds ect. leaving children in hot cars, always blaming the manufacturer for what happens to their kids, truth be told they was not being properly supervised. And then sue to get a fat check, you all do not go to jail erven for murder. The scales iof justice is tilted in favor of white folks. Until you all pay back everything you have robbed and stolen from black and brown people, ‘keep you damn mouth closed’
He was 6’5″ tall and weighed 340lb. I would bet that there were signs stating if over this weight or height that you can’t ride and someone was scared to tell the huge black guy he couldn’t ride. If a person is that big I don’t believe the overhead restraint would come down far enough to hold you in
First off learn what you’re talking about before you attempt to point fingers at others. “White Folks” (as Explorers and Colonists) that sailed from Europe to Porto Nova, Nigeria to hire “African Nigerians” (is what natives from the Country of Nigeria were referred to) and “African Niggers” (is what natives from the Country of Niger where referred to) to become “indentured workers” (workers that signed an International Legal Document to provide them with travel from their impoverished Country to the “New World” in exchange for labored work as contractors upon arrival at their final destination) ever since (roughly) the 15th century. This contract did not have an expiration date, Niggers, and Nigerians that signed these contracts were not slaves, but rather indebted contractors for an indefinite time frame that did not have an expiration date.These Niggers and Nigerians were not forced to sign the “Legal Document”, they did so on their own free will. The closest thing to injustice would be that not all who signed these legal documents did not fully understand what they meant and what they were obligating themselves to before signing, they just looked at it as a way out of a desolate and impoverished Country they called home, to a place they called the “New World” or North America. That is that in a nut shell, there are greater details to the entire process that would take a book to explain.
Secondly, you made reference to “Indians”. Indians are from the Country of India, it sounds like you meant to say “Native Americans” (people from North America). Most Native Americans I have spoke to are offended by being referred to as “Indians”. Just Saying.
Also you should work on that grammar, it makes you sound as if you are uneducated. You know, just saying.
You’ve made a lot of allegations that do not sound as if you know the details.
If you do not like this Country (The United States of America), rather than all the complaining that you are doing. Simply leave. Move to another Country of your choice that you believe you would like, it’s simple with a planned approach. Make room for people who want to come to this Country who truly believe that there is no “Perfect” Country; but, the United States of America is the closest there is in the entire world.
