Teenager that tragically died in Orlando

I have just looked at the Daily Fail headlines and a 14 year old has fallen from a ride and sadly died . Absolutely shocking and the poor guy wasn’t properly strapped in …he was overweight and was probably too embarrassed to get assistance with his seatbelt.
I am absolutely sickened by the comments from people,racist and fat shaming…where do these vile people get their thoughts from ? I despair 😞

Yes I think it is a design issue - it is as far as I know unusual for drop rides in the angle at which they are held before dropping. So the seat is not upright it leans forward

We always have minimum limits - maximum is something we seem to shy away from but probably should. Given how old it is it possibly was always an accident waiting to happen

It is a tragedy.

A teenage boy dies terrified leaving a message for his family and sick people think it is to be mocked.

Some people are lower than a snakes belly, they're sickening

SM gives these idiots platforms.

DM shouldn't allow unmoderated comments.

There is a report (linked in the page above) which says that the harness had been adjusted at some point so the safety sensors activated at a wider space than the other seats. I read it on the page above, when I followed the link it said it didn’t exist.
