God bless his friends and family. So tragic and heartbreaking. 💔 The employee had one job and for some reason just couldn’t do it which took this young mans life.

I’ve been on that ride with kids we all felt strong effects after getting off the ride. Will never ride that ride again. That ride should put a seat belt underneath people for extra security and safety because even going up there you feel like you may slide out and I’m 6ft.

[omegangel]

It’s literally obvious the guy who didn’t check the seat belts fault. (Saw the video) guy wasn’t even worried

[peoplepewpew]

This is why I don’t go on these rides.

[Cat_Meow]

That's the problem when you have careless young employees always bullshitring instead of doing their jobs
I WILL NEVER VISIT A THEME PARK

All my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. So tragic and so heartbreaking. 💔💔 after I watched this, I immediately starting crying, something’s not right about this. The employee had one job and couldn’t do it which caused this young man’s his life.

How are 20+ year old rides have seatbelts but a 2 month old ride don’t??

[jordynnnn]

This is so sad man he didn’t even wanna go he was panicking before he went up it’s just so sad this young boy lost his life to some ride and couldn’t even do anything he probably broke all his bones msn he had a whole life infront of him

Seatbelts would have been too expensive I suppose. Its unsafe obvioulsy.

Rode this ride in January with my husband, one of the most intense rides I've been on. It was a blast but we were questioning the fact that there are no seatbelts. We really felt like we were not secured. I cannot imagine what this boy's family and other riders are going through after witnessing that. How horrific!!

[loserm]

This was such a tragic thing that happened and even those who were there at that time that’s traumatic for everyone. They should be sued for that, he was not secure and they should’ve had a bit more precaution before lifting everyone. He was to young and didn’t deserve this. Prayers and condolences to his family.🕊

Those few secs of silence when they got back down must’ve been heavy af

[jrlv]

Even if they open it back up I don’t see very many people wanting to ride it.

[StrSnag]

It look like he just slipped out I don’t get it

[terryb]

EVERYDAY PEOPLE STEP INTO ETERNITY. JESUS DIED TO PAY FOR ALL OUR SINS BUT WE MUST INDIVIDUALLY REPENT AND TRUST IN HIM TO ENTER HEAVEN.

This ride to me is like bungy jumping. I will never get on this ride

[theonlyyari]

The seat tilts forward before the descent, his harness was 1/4 down & his weight likely pushed down in the space gap with that pressure. At 10;people per ride & him weighing in at 340+ should be considered before
