    I AGREE THIS WAS SO SAD AND THIS POOR BOY’S LIFE WAS TAKEN BECAUSE SOMEONE DIDN’T FEEL THE NEED TO FOLLOW THE RULES OR EVEN CHECK HIS SEAT TO MAKE SURE IT WAS LOCKED IN. SO YES I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING IN THIS POST.

      Someone other than the ride operators adjusted the seats because the lights engaged , making it look like the seat was locked and allowed the ride to operate. The ride won’t operate if the overhead harnesses aren’t locked. That’s not what happened here. Someone adjusted the amount of space the harness had.

    I think that would be great to have that posted outside the rides or even have that scale to make sure nothing like this ever happens again.

    I no longer would go on any of the kind of rides. Nor will I allow my three sons to do so. I justnwill not put our lives on the line at the mercy of some 16yo kid high on weed.

      Uh what…lol? I think you’re high on weed with that grammar

    You’re kidding right? Our over sensitive society will start screaming that they’re being body shamed.

    I dont think they should shut the ride down.I think they should have weight and height posted.Im very sorry for the boy and his family.But he kwew he was too heavy to ride that ride.
