A 14-year-old boy dies after slipping out of a 430ft drop tower ride as it hurtled to earth at 75mph while his parents watched in horror: staff at Orlando’s ICON park thought a ‘piece of the ride’ had broken off until they saw him lying on the ground. The ride opened up in December.
Joshua Rodriguez, a candidate of Colorado’s 8th Congressional District posted the entire video of the 14-year-old boy falling on his Twitter page.
Investigation underway to learn what went wrong. SlingShot Group, owner and operator, said it’s heartbroken and the ride is closed indefinitely.
Our condolences goes out to the young boy family and friends.
