RIP brother
Her son was so grossly oversized that it was clear he should not have been allowed on the ride. No matter how disappointed he would have been (by being denied), he would be alive today. Parents: Never surrender your responsibility for the safety of your child over to a stranger. Mom is very overweight therefore, she knew he was not going to be able to ride many of those rides but failed to explain this to her son before setting him off to an amusement park.
People are so naive. Mom does not want the public to see her behavior as a money grab off the death of her son but she knows to get any money she has to let the atty sue as many people as possible to get her small cut (the atty will get the bulk).
So sorry for the loss.
If I was 14 and weight 250 pounds I wouldn't trust any ride like that gravity is not on ur side
def getting new escalades
Good for her she just won the lottery, 😅 who says kids don't bring money home ,with out stealing. Lol
Actually there's cellphone footage from another person next to him on the ride showing him yelling "I DONT WANNA LIVE ANYMORE" and was trying to remove his own restraints
This death trap 😂😂😂😂
Terrible way to pass, absolutely terrible.
THATS BCRAP NOT ENOUGH INSPECTIONS .
It’s some hateful people in these comments. People are weird and really need to seek professional help
Sadly but I don’t think I would be able to touch or spend any of the settlement. It would remind me of the accident and it’s victim.
New hair, new nails, new leggings, new lashes, new Escalade with spinners
😢❤xxxx
He knew better geeze and they did too both are at fault
Disney character panties are the most cutest and comfortable kind of panties to wear hggc
That woman is humongous.
Lol she looks like she was in it in the money
Maybe big boy shouldn’t have been on the ride ?
Wait because your too fat for the ride they're taking it down?
No matter the amount of the settlement. It's Gonna B bare Minimum compared to how much Professional Football Players can make!!! Good thing she won.
i remember the kentucky kingdom accident like this in Louisville Kentucky years ago. The young girl had her foot cut off when the ride failed and loose cables where exposed. These rides are NOT safe and people should quit riding these types of rides. its not worth it
Name it after him😅
Like Dr Phil said: if you want justice, you don't go on tv. When you go on tv, all credibility is lost, and the money trap is set.
Edit: why doesn't she use the money to help improve kids' health? Being that young and that obese is NOT healthy and it is concerning. So concerning that cps takes children away from parents who let their kids eat themselves to death.
BIG picture lesson here folks… don’t be overweight
