The Florida Legislature passed a bill which aims to implement more safety regulations for amusement park rides after the death of Tyre Sampson in March 2022.
Almost one year after 14-year-old Tyre Sampson tragically fell off of the 400-foot-tall Orlando FreeFall ride, crews are working to dismantle the ride.
The Orlando FreeFall drop tower in ICON Park in Orlando, Florida, is pictured on March 28, 2022. Tyre Sampson, 14, was killed when he fell from the ride. Orlando Slingshot, which operates the Orlando FreeFall, announced in October 2022 that the ride would be torn down. "We are glad the Tyre Sampson Act was passed. We continue to be devoted to the safety of our patrons and have voiced our support for this legislation throughout the process in the legislature," Armstrong said.
