"Tyre Sampson's Tragic Death Sparks Changes in Florida Amusement Ride Regulations"

The mother of Tyre Sampson, who died after falling off the Orlando FreeFall drop tower ride last year, visited the amusement park as the ride was dismantled. The ride had been closed since the incident, and an investigation found that Tyre was not properly secured in his seat due to a "mis-adjustment" of his harness proximity sensor. The family has settled their lawsuit against ICON Park and Slingshot, but not against the foreign manufacturers. They have also introduced the "Tyre Sampson Act" to require additional safety requirements for permanent amusement rides in Florida. The Orange County Sheriff's Office is still investigating whether anyone will be held criminally responsible for the incident.
