Florida dismantles ride where teen fell to death, mother speaks out.
TL;DR Summary
A 400-foot amusement ride in Orlando's International Drive tourism district, where a Missouri teen fell to his death in March 2022, is being dismantled. The ride's dismantling is expected to take several days. The family of the deceased teen has reached a settlement with the owner, and legislation is pending in the Florida Legislature aimed at preventing similar accidents. The Tyre Sampson Act would prevent Florida's smaller attractions operators from making unauthorized adjustments to a ride's restraint systems and require operators to submit more detailed safety and operational documentation to the state.
