Tyre Sampson, the gentle giant who plunged to his death at an amusement park in Orlando, Florida, stood at 6 foot 5, and weighed over 300 pounds. The 14-year-old had reportedly been turned away from at least two other rides at the park because of his size. The accident happened at ICON Park, where the 430-foot FreeFall ride is a popular attraction. In Europe, the maximum passenger weight on the ride is 287 pounds; in the US, there is no maximum weight restriction.

14 YEARS OLD AND 6 FT 5????????? JESUS
Of course, blame the tower, blame the operators, blame the manufacturer.
Don’t blame the parents who let their 14 years old kid reach 170 kg in body weight. Oh no, that’s called “body positivity”.
Now, stay positive about this.
RIP
Wearing a mask cause you think you will be killed by an made virus, but going with your height and weight in a ride what is made for thin people 😂
I was thinking on going on a ride like that in my next vacation to kings island but now never mind. I’m sticking to the baby roller coasters
He was obese and the shoulder support couldn’t lock on his obese body.
rest in paradise💗
Like a big fat sack of potatoes 🤣
Rest In Peace
14 years and 6'5 GOD DAMM he has the daddy genes.
The title has me, its hilarious 😂😂😭
Well what do you expect
There's restrictions for a reason
He lacked common sense
NOOOOOOO😭😭😭😭😭😭
Why does something horrible always have to happen before people make common sense safety decisions I’ll never understand
That is why they have weight limits for rides
I don't rides at the fair anymore because I am overweight now and I don't get mad because I can't ride them anymore
Why?
🤮
This is super sad
The contradicting findings and statements at the very end should have been at the very beginning of the video and the video should have focused on that argument…as well as the possibility of "Was 14-Year-Old Who Died at Orlando Amusement Park Too Heavy for Ride?"…
Body positively has gone too far in the United States that people turn a blind eye like that all the time. The victim and the park owner alike.
So sorry🙏😔
Now the rides being taken down because it killed a sacred cow. Another thing ruined by jo66ers. Honestly surprised there hasn't been protests at the park calling amusement park rides racist.
all he had to do was hold onto the poles on the harness 😂😂🤦♂️
its despicable seeing that still shot of his seat not locked in the same position as the person next to him. how do you see that and let him go up?
And some people still push for fat positivity and for fat people to be able to go everywhere.
I think I should go with the merry go round. And the Ferris wheel 🎡, and that ride the has those swings that made go round and around. That one is my favorite.
