Orlando FreeFall ride demolished after tragic teen death.

TL;DR Summary
The mother of Tyre Sampson, who died after falling from the FreeFall ride at Orlando's ICON Park last spring, visited the attraction for the first time to witness its demolition. The ride is being dismantled ahead of the one-year anniversary of the tragedy. Tyre's family has reached a settlement for an undisclosed amount with both Orlando FreeFall's owner-operator in Florida, Slingshot Group, and the company that leased the space, ICON Park. The family is still battling ride manufacturer Funtime Thrill Rides in court. Tyre was nearly 100 pounds over the ride's weight limit of 287 pounds, allowing him to slip out of the safety harness and fall to his death.
