Jury awards $310 million to parents of teen killed in fall from Orlando amusement park ride in march 2022
The Orange County jury ordered that the manufacturer Funtime pay $155 million each to Tyre Sampson’s parents, Nekia Dodd and Yarnell Sampson. He died on March 24, 2022, after falling 70 feet from Icon Park’s Orlando Free Fall ride. The trial lasted only a day as Funtime never appeared in court to defend itself. Zuma Sampson, a football standout who stood 6 foot, 2 inches tall and weighed 380 pounds, was visiting Orlando on spring break from the St. Louis, Missouri, area when he went with friends to the downtown amusement park. They rode the Orlando Free Fall, which placed 30 riders in seats attached to a tower, secured them with a shoulder harness and then dropped them 430 feet. It didn’t have seat belts, something most drop rides have as an additional safety measure. His parents argued that Icon and Funtime should have warned their son about the risks of someone his size going on the ride and didn’t provide an appropriate restraint system. Adding seat belts would have cost $660. The state ordered the ride closed after the accident and it never reopened. It has now been demolished. Article More on reddit.com
