I stopped going on rides years ago. I see this place every time I'm in Orlando when I go to Twin Peaks. I never liked those bar restraints. I always thought since it's electronic something make it unlock. I remember riding the Hulk at Universal years ago thinking about that.

There was a story about this years ago about carnival rides. shyt was scary how things come apart easy. They set it up and bring it down city to city without checking to make sure pieces are still working properly.looks like it's teacups for me here on out brehs
to that child.
From what I understand these theme parks don't have regulations on a lot of their rides/machinery. But of course the food establishments do

RIP to the youngin’
Oh naaaaahhhhhhh smhFrom his dad
"He was panicking when he was going up," Sampson says his son was on the Orlando Free Fall ride at ICON Park with two of his best friends. "When the ride took off, that’s when he was feeling uncomfortable. He was like, ‘What’s going on?’ That’s when he started freaking out, and he was explaining to his friend next to him, ‘I don’t know man. If I don’t make it down, please tell my Mom and Daddy I love them.’ For him to say something like that, he must have felt something."
Father of teen who fell from ride wants answers: 'This should never happen'
I wanna know who took the pic. Because I can't see a black person looking at the breh and then not asking "are you sure that kid is secure?".

I mean as kids, we all went on those carnival and fair rides like nothing when they came and went to our areas every year. Haven’t been on one of those rides since my early 20s. Carnivals are only good now for funnel cakes.When I was a kid I used to go on all the rides even if I felt a little shook at how they were set up because logically I said to myself, "This is America, any place that wasn't totally safe would get shut down."
Blind trust that was misplaced.
I still think back to one super-steep waterslide I did that was damn near a freefall with hardly any lip on either side. They told you a ton of times to keep your legs straight and your arms crossed as you went down. I'm still sure to this day that if I had bent my knees I could have pushed myself straight away from that thing.
There was clearly negligence by the ride operators for letting him on the ride (Not properly screening the riders).....I also think the company that makes this ride will be liable for not having proper safety precautions......That ride should have a safety belt that goes under/between the rider's legs and over the crotch area.

You said it before I did. The kamikaze, the zipper, the thunderbolt, graviton, the orbiter, zero gravity, etc. went on them when we were kids all the time. Couldn’t pay me to go any of them now.
RIP to breh. Assuming the oic posted is him, I am no more scared of rides today than before this incident. He clearly did not fit. The operator should have checked him once and told him to kick rocks.

That’s so sad
that had to be instant correct?
I have never liked any rides at amusement parks…got peer pressured into some when I was younger..but that shyt isn’t for me
the whole idea of waiting around 45 minutes for like 14 seconds of a thrill never seemed fun to me ..and I can’t be like them nikkas who lift their hands up and scream in excitement…I hold on to the handles tight and be silent as hell
