Florida amusement ride dismantled after teen's tragic death.
A 400-foot amusement ride in Orlando's International Drive tourism district, where a Missouri teen fell to his death in March 2022, is being dismantled almost a year after the incident. The ride's dismantling is expected to take several days. The family of the deceased teen has reached a settlement with the owner of the ride, and legislation is pending in the Florida Legislature aimed at preventing similar accidents. The Tyre Sampson Act would prevent unauthorized adjustments to a ride's restraint systems and require operators to submit more detailed safety and operational documentation to the state.
