14 year old dies at icon park video: Authorities say a teen died after falling from a drop tower ride at Orlando’s ICON PARK.

According to Orange County Sheriff’s Office officials, a teenager died after falling while riding a drop tower attraction in the Orlando area, Florida.

A 911 caller reported an incident at ICON Park on International Drive late Thursday evening, prompting several law enforcement officers, firefighters, and paramedics to respond.

Deputies were told by witnesses on the scene that someone had fallen off the Orlando Free Fall ride. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office later confirmed that a 14-year-old boy was taken to the hospital and died as a result of his injuries.

UPDATE: 14 year old teen’s cousin revealed the truth behind the incident

According to his cousin, the youngster who died after falling from an amusement park ride in Florida last week was turned away from two other rides at the park due to his size.

According to ICON Park, where the incident occurred, Tyre Sampson fell Thursday from the Orlando FreeFall drop tower, which carries riders up 430 feet and then drops at speeds of up to 75 mph.

Shay Johnson, a CNN affiliate Spectrum News 13 reporter, said she spoke with 14-year-old Sampson by phone immediately before he boarded the park’s FreeFall drop tower.

She stated Johnson put Sampson off at the park and he told her he wanted to ride the swing.

“‘OK,’ I responded. ‘Ride it again, and ride it for me as well,’ “According to Johnson.

“He returned my call around seven minutes later. ‘They said I’m too large,’ he explained. ‘I’m not a rider.’ “Johnson stated this during an interview with Spectrum News 13.

CNN has contacted ride operator Slingshot Group to inquire whether Sampson fit correctly and whether he was refused access to the group’s other ride owing to his size.

According to Johnson, she urged Sampson to try another one, the SlingShot, but he was again informed he was too large. He informed her he was going to attempt one more ride.

“He called and said, ‘They let me ride. ‘I can ride,’ she says “She recalled him telling her this before boarding the Orlando FreeFall.

“I had no idea that would be my last conversation with him. He just wanted to ride and have fun “She stated.

According to an accident report acquired by CNN, Sampson’s seat was secured when the transport came to a stop.

“Harness was remained in a down and locked position when the ride stopped,” according to the report submitted by the operator with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ fair rides section.

According to the report, Sampson fell out of his seat when the magnets engaged to slow the ride during the descent.

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has uploaded the ride’s operations and maintenance manual online, indicating that the maximum passenger weight is 130 kilos (approximately 287 pounds). But Sampson was 340 according to his dad.

It’s unclear if Sampson fitted to the contours of the seat or if the bracket was correctly installed.

A video apparently depicting the ICON Park incident circulating on social media shows a passenger falling from their seat approximately five seconds into the ride’s drop, maybe about two-thirds of the way down, when the attraction paused as it reached the ground.

The FreeFall ride is currently closed until the accident is investigated.

What caused the teen fall from drop tower ride?

The teen, who has not yet been identified, was taken to the hospital but died as a result of his injuries, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

The terrifying accident and the screams of witnesses were captured on video as the boy fell from the ride, which rotates around a tower as it rises in the air before plunging to the ground at 75 miles per hour.

The Orlando Free Fall ride, which will open in December 2021, is 430 feet tall and can accommodate up to 30 people.

As it rises, the vehicle rotates around a central tower. Riders tilt forward and face the ground briefly after reaching the top before free-falling at nearly 75 miles per hour.

It was unclear how the teenager managed to free himself from the ride’s seat belt, or how many people were on the tower at the time.

ICON Park on International Drive has yet to state the tragedy. The incident is being investigated by police.

It comes less than two years after a park employee was died after falling 200 feet from the Orlando StarFlyer ride.

The 21-year-old employee was performing a safety inspection about halfway up the 450-foot-tall ride when he died just before 8 a.m. on September 14, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

According to first responders who were on the scene, the worker struck a platform beneath the ride at ICON Park on International Drive in Orlando and went into cardiac arrest.
