  1. this is the thing, as big as he was, he would have been complaining about not getting on the ride, so how can anyone win?? none, sadly he paid the ultimate price, its showed the belt were locked in, so her must have squirming out of his seat, resulting in his fall, and they said he was panicking, but from what i dont understand is why the cousin want it closed, why not the parent, its doesnt matter just because a person dies, you do not close the ride. especially one as big as this kid was.

  2. If one employee fails to do their job correctly one time, the answer shouldn’t be to shut down the attraction for the rest world.

  3. ❤️ Hermosa eleccion 4.FO/Elizeid de mejor

    1 (elecciones ) 9.9/10 2 ( culturales ) 9.7/10

    Son unos de los mejores conciertos

    , no-puede-ir-pero-de-tan-solo verlos

    desde pantalla,, se que estuvo

    Sorprendente .

  4. Where were the parents , his a minor ?

  5. There’s no way he was strapped in. He wouldn’t have flown out. The only explanation for the harness being secured after his death is that it connected after he had flown out because the ride still had 1/2 down to go.

  6. Crump you can always count to be there to make money of of black people's tears.

  7. I Feel bad for whatever he landed on

  8. 14 years old and 325 lbs??

  9. It likely slammed into the lock position after he fell out. He was definitely too big for that ride. Horrible way for a child to die.

  10. He was a very young boy tragic to see this awful accident. God bless him.

  11. That's sad they shouldn't have allowed him to ride.

  12. My condolences… 14 years old is too young to go..

  13. There is a special hot place for the men that run that no-name park in Orlando. No one thought about cleaning up the accident area. That just shows there were no SOPs in place for a situation like this bc they have a bunch of minimum wage teens w/zero experience running the rides. When the cousin said she had to clean up her cousin's blood that was too much! Where is the Orange County Health Department??? They need to give the park a citation, ticket, or fine. You can't just have certain bodily fluids on the grounds of an amusement park!

  14. 0.45 no you wouldn't we all know what would have happened.
    Calling a kid fat…

  15. Dang didn't know there was a video. That's horrible to watch, but I want to watch it. Im horrible

  16. What teens is 300+ lbs?? If they would of denied him they would if called black!

  17. No way I would get on that thing. Looks unsafe as it is
