Such a bright young man that had his whole future ahead of him. May he rest in peace and I hope his family is doing ok 😔
As a Canadian in BC, I am absolutely shocked that this is the FIRST TIME I have ever heard about this!😡
So tragic and then his father gets killed in a plane crash😢
That poor family! Thank-you for covering this story.
When working on any ride, the ride should be shut down. The only reason an amusement park would want a ride to continue operation is to make more money for themselves. These companies don't care about their employees just their very deep pockets. And courts of justice will go along with these companies regardless of how many innocent people have to die because they are scared to cross these very rich individuals…. Justices want to make money and keep their jobs not end up losing everything upset the rich and powerful
Rip to both Gentlemen
That crying violin at the beginning sets the mood every time. It hits you in the gut.
I’m sorry….I might be misunderstanding something, but I don’t think you need a manual to know that maintenance done on heavy machinery should be done while it’s shut down…..Like…..??? I’ve heard so many stories like this and I just don’t understand it. And the fact that only a certain kind of person was able to give the green light to shut it down is just….smh.
Zero intelligence…Really?? Go and remove snow manually, while the ride is in motion???
❤❤❤
I only live an hour away and had not heard of this unfortunate tragedy. My heart goes out to Riley's family 😢
Such a promising young life taken in seconds. Thank you for helping to keep him remembered.
Your channel and the narrative you bring does matter ❤
My heart goes out to this poor family. Losing two loved ones must be devastating. I hope they find closure. The owner of the Ferris wheel should be arrested.
I just wanna hug the mama and the older son!!!!😢😢😢😢😢😢
This reminds me of the Disney death thing with the girl who cleaned in between scene changes on some ride. She got caught between the walls and crushed. The neglience of this should have come at hefty fines and a lawsuit for the family.
He could've still lived, regardless.of the little bit of force,that was put on his body…hell it's deep sea divers,that bodies.go through way more than that pressure,they could've saved him.had they got him help faster
What is 4,000 200 kg in weight? Can somebody please explain to me.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Its insane that no-one was held accountable for this. RIP Riley.
😢
Riley should never had been asked to clear the snow since he was not trained to do so. Rip Riley.
How awful… still seems like someone ought to have been sued/ the outfit held accountable.
Too Too Morbid 😮
Ironically I was just watching a video about Montreal and this was on the list
Life can be so f’n cruel. RIP Riley and Galkin.
Racist ferris wheel
