United States.- The family of 14-year-old boy who died on March 24or be projected against the ground by a free fall game in an amusement park in Orlando Florida in the United States, sued the company that owns the amusement center on Monday.
According to US media, the lawsuit was filed by the minor’s parents in an Orlando court, in which they accused Orlando Eagle Drop Slingshot, the company that owns the amusement center, and ICON park of manslaughter.
The unfortunate death of the minor occurred when Tire Sampson was visiting the city with friends and decided to get on a game known as Free Fall, which is a 131-meter-high tower that executes a free fall of more than 120 kilometers per time.
The tragedy was captured on video, and it shows how when the game descends at full speed, the 14-year-old is projected at more than 100 kilometers per hour against the ground, from a height of approximately 12 meters.
According to the investigations, in order for Sampson, who is a corpulent teenager of about 136 kilograms, to get on the game, the operator of the attraction had to adjust the opening of the safety harness and the seat sensor that allows his accommodation. For what they indicate that the manual manipulation of the harness could be what led to the tragedy when the young man fell into a tailspin attached to the game.
A few days ago, the Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services of Florida, Nikki Fried, reported that the investigations concluded that “the safety sensor of the seat was adjusted manually” due to the large size of the young man, since the opening of the harness took almost double normal.
