Many have heard that the life of a fourteen year old boy has ended. The boy's name was Tyre Sampson, who was in Orlando Florida for spring break with the company of his family. Sampson's family lives in Missouri. Tyre was six feet five inches and weighed 300 pounds. Tyre had a passion for football since was young. He was known to be a kind-hearted boy and was loved by everyone.
As we know, teenage boys can get excited over little things. Tyre and his friend decided to get onto The Free Fall ride. It was 11 P.M once they got to the ride. The Free Fall ride is the world’s second tallest drop tower. The ride is standing at 430 feet tall. It can fit 30 people, it rotates while it makes itself to the top before dropping. Drops down to speed up to 75 miles per hour.
Before the boys and everyone else who was going along for the ride. They settled down onto their seats and put the shoulder harness down. Other riders were questioning the protocall. The ride didn’t have an additional seat belt for extra protection. There has been an investigation on a twenty-one year old boy named David Kaminsky. Who didn’t take his time to ensure everyone was safe before falling down the 430 feet. When the drop tower began everything seemed to go as normal. Once, the tower dropped Tyre, who wasn’t strapped down, fell 225 feet down. He was rushed to the hospital and shortly died because of the injuries. His life ended the night of March 24, 2022.
The ride is closed as they are investigating further. Tyre’s father mentioned how he kept mentioning how something didn’t feel right and he had a bad feeling before the ride took off. People were thinking that his size could have affected the accident. Which is the workers job to make sure everything is safe before starting any rides.
This tragedy is awful knowing their family has to go back home from a vacation without their son. There are still questions about this and investigations going on to know why this happened.
What would you want to do if this was one of your family member?
What should happen to the Free Drop Tower company?

Exactly it's the worker job to ensure everything is okay before the ride takes off. An update said his parents are suing the company, as they should.
I'm not sure what I would do if this happened to my family. There are thousands of recations and everyone reacts differently. While some may sue because I do believe that there should be more safety used in rollercoasters. I think more safety should be used in the future.
If one of my family members were to die because of a worker not doing their job properly I would sue that work since it was his fault that the family member is gone. I would sue the company of the ride for not taking proper safety measures to the ride.
If this were to happen to someone in my family I would be extremely sad. I think that the person that was supposed to be checking the safety of everyone and the company that built the rollar coaster should be sued and there should be no way that it could happen again.
I would be devstated seeing a family member of mine thrown to the ground at the fault of another person. The person who was supposed ot make sure the ride was operating is 100% responisble for the death of this young man. This company should be sued.
I think the company and the person who didn't check should be sued.
The fact that this happends twice amazes me. Why would you keep up something that killed someone, or not do a total check of it to see what broke. As for the company I would sue them, their ride is the very reason that the son died and in a way its their fault hes dead.
The company does need to be sued for causing the death of a teenage boy. Especially since they didn't check to make sure things looked right.
If this were to happen to any of my family members I would be very upset. I think that this is very terrible but also this happens all around the world, of course there is no excuse for this happening because the operators are supposed to check the rides every morning before the amusement parks open to make sure the rides are safe for their riders. I definitely think that the drop tower shoud be shut down completely just because of what happened and also other rides around the world in other amusement parks have had to shut down because of many injuries so they should have to follow the same policy.
If this were to happen to my kids I would be very upset. I think it could have been avoided because at the beginning of the video you can hear something about a seat belt. I think the drop tower should be shut down for good after what happened.
