From 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."

Poor baby this is so tragic. Smh

He's from East St. Louis. I know quite a few ppl from there. As rough as it is there, young breh was probably happy to be down in Orlando, getting a change of scenery. This is bad, no matter the race but when I found out he was Black, it hit a lil different. I got a niece and nephew around that same age, give or take a year.


If his parents were there, that plane ride back would be the worst 3 hour plane ride in history. They are really gonna need as many resources just to get through life, let alone getting through this.

smh at them saying "Bring us back up."
little man just became one with the Earf and you wanna go for another ride?

anyway, that kid was a projectile for like half a second, then he just gave up like ?
@CouldntBeMeTho

he should have had a plan going into it, prepared to roll out of the fall rather than absorb the full impact.
no doubt he would be a bit banged up but that didn't have to be fatal.

Big time troll

 

[calixprynce]

Damn just searched it and read the article. Heartbreaking because his family was right there.

Mum had to be held back from horror as son, 10, decapitated on water slide

They got 20 million for that but obviously that's not worth it.

i would took that $20 mill and turn into Mojo Jojo on whatever park franchise it happened at . Fucc it
I can’t even imagine that happening to my sibling

 

[spliz]

[Kurt off them percs]

[Tom Foolery]

The employee wasn't paying attention to his job.

RIP young man

 

[aceboon]

Just straight negligence

RELATED: Teen dies after fall from drop tower ride at Orlando's ICON PARK, authorities say

He said his son was 6 feet, 5 inches tall, and weighed 340 pounds.

"This one particular ride said, ‘We can take you, come on! Get on!’ No one else allowed him to get on the ride, so I’m wondering what happened between now and then that made them say, 'Come on, get this ride!"

 

[KBtheKey]

Not gonna lie i thought about this after seeing the video if it was me. But my ass wouldn't be up there anyway. You could technically save yourself from death, or you might just prolong it. You'd have to be already prepared for that exact moment for any of that to matter tho

Damn.. I didn't think about the guys next to him.

I wonder if they were his friends. Either way..

yikes.

They had to witness it and see him laying on the ground waiting to get out of the ride

This shyt ... Damn
