Seeing him moments before he would die is just heartbreaking .There was a reason the the other rides denied him. I don’t know why but I feel really bad for him. He seemed really chill and nice
Yea, I really don’t like to victim blame but there’s a reason there are weight limits and ig some workers thought he fit the range. My hearts out to the family of the teen and those who were around to witness such a tragic scene.
Hes was a baby , someone’s son , a young man that was happy they let him ride he was excited and wasn’t expecting to die . All of America feels awful , anyone with the slightest bit of empathy and compassion feels bad watching that boy lose his life . Horrible accident that could have been avoided in many ways .
@@Ascension1004 people really need to shut up about his weight . He didn’t know and it wasn’t his job to determine . Those idiots let him ride and now that baby is gone .
@@Ascension1004 so he wasn’t a victim in a horrible accident? Im sure no matter what age of an individual is, if they are harmed or injured in a crime/accident they are immediately a victim. I’m just pointing out, like a lot of people, that if he was denied from a lot of rides why would this one be any different. One of the biggest free fall ride in the world. It’s a horrible accident that never should’ve happened. People were just negligent.
OK but can we please just talk about how disturbing it must’ve been for his friend sitting next to him on the ride?! Imagine watching your friend fall to their death Right next to you!! And not only that when the ride went down after he fell he had to see his friends body just laying there. Absolutely horrific to say the least.
As its coming down u hear ppl scream being happy scared nervous n having fun but as u keep on listening ppl really dont realize if the person is or isn't next to u as of ppl may close there eyes n stuff but im wondering if he fainted a lil as the ride came down n the pressure of it coming down might of made him fall n didn't atleast try to hold on...it happens alot to ppl that they faint for a couple of seconds....thats what i wonder he looked strong but idk just cannot get the image out of my head of his fall he was so young. May he rest in peace n i really hope he didn't feel it....
@@viewer409 that one guy was covering his eyes....but i heard a girl say call the ambulance none noticed when he fell n of course ppl close their eyes n scream but some have mini faints so i wonder if that happened to him as he came down. Thats why he fell n the pressure of it going fast pushed him of quicker....so sad
Exactly!!! THAT'S the big elephant in the room that people UTTERLY REFUSE to address. It wasn't about his 6'5 height, unfortunately the dude was dangerously overweight and out of shape, AT 14 yrs old.
@@seanlewis1148 But I have a huge problem with the mom knowing he was morbidly overweight and did nothing. He ws refused access to two rides in the park because of his weight. No one should care about your safety more than your parents? Were they asleep? Were they in denial? I hate that the parents are acting as if they have zero responsibility.
Yet if they told him he was too fat to ride the amusement park would get sued for discrimination. The lefts political correctness and woke agenda is what creates these situations.
IAM not victimizing anyone but those immigrant worker's just don't give a damn they need to take pride in the skilled work they provide for a smaller pay,but it's not given due to cheap pay labor they get causing such catastrophes like this to take place all over.My condolences to the family of the teen who held a bright future.My apology goes out to the immigrants working cheap labor that they are required to do by so many companies such as theme park s in the southern areas.
Seeing him in this video alive, laughing, having fun, is unbearable. He deserved to walk home but to be shipped back. Tyre deserved so much more. rip sweet boy
@Dan we're not miserable, bored and complacent like you to find any satisfaction in that...go play in traffic so you can enjoy more "sounds" since you're clearly on the spectrum...
This hurts to hear. Poor kid didn’t deserve this. I hope the family heals from this. When things like this happen I always put myself in the family’s situation and I just couldn’t imagine losing my brother like this.

I watched the video and there were people in the ride who didn’t understand that he actually was gone. They were just swinging their legs like if they were waiting for candy at a park I’m telling you if it was tragic it was after everybody told them what actually happened because nobody realized that somebody’s life was actually gone at that instant. But I’ll tell you this is still haunts me the sound of his body hitting the floor that sound is something that I’m probably never going to forget
Heartbreaking tragedy, I went on a ride with a very heavy friend who was denied access. I felt terrible for him but it probably saved his life and potentially kept me from being injured too.

Seeing this kid, he was still just a child having fun & smiling, not knowing that was it. Breaks my heart, I cry when I see this. My screams get off the ride or pull down the harness closer, poor boy had to be terrified, and his friend who was unable to even speak but wail & moan from his 💔 …I feel for them all RIP Tyre , I’m so sorry this happened. I’m crying as I write ….
This really hurts my heart. For days, I've been grieving for him and his family. Imagine him viewing the beautiful Orlando scenery and at the same time preparing for his death. His last words haunts me... at 14 YEARS OLD. I have a mixture of feelings. Anger and sadness. This was so preventable.
Im in the same boat with you, that poor baby Tyre it breaks MY HEART seeing him before the ride goes up, I just cant yall, I have literal PTSD. I want that baby to come back so bad smh
Unlike most shoulder restraints on amusement rides, it looks like these didn’t have a little cloth strap that buckles into a locking device that protrudes up from the seat. If it would’ve had that, that little strap of cloth would have prevented him from sliding out of the seat.
Why they let him on the ride with his size is beyond INSANE. These rides are meant for a certain weight, and to let someone who is oversized, such as that young man, get on a ride is absolutely NEGLIGENT. I feel absolutely horrible for this young man, his family and friends. I hope they sue the shit out of the company and the people who employed the operators of the ride for not telling them the weight regulations!!!! If they did, include the operators of the ride as well!!!
Yes, and they should've made sure ALL seats were safe and ready. Absolutely horrible and the people doing it deserve to be sued. He shouldn't even have been there in the first place, a live could've been saved, but no.
@@jamielehman4934 um that's a pretty big assumption . Not everyone plays the race card!!!! Lets say he did try that....he'd still be alive AND the weight regulations would shut him, and other people up quickly. Instead that young man loses his life and people seriously want to bring up and talk about politics and race? WTF. This generation and frankly, THE WORLD, IS FUCKED. NOBODY knows how to fucking act properly and don't understand BOUNDARIES, Let alone ENFORCING REGULATIONS coz they're afraid of any backlash, and can't, or don't know how or don't care how to talk properly to others in person!!!! What a sad state our society is in.

@MUSIC IS LIFE You must've grow up in a pretty fcked up family to be flippin' about at anyone. 14 or 41... to a loving parent, their children would always be a baby in their eyes and heart no matter how old their children grow up to be. Just because the OP calls her son 'baby' doesn't mean that she treat him like one. For fck's sake, It's just an informal version of a given pronoun. Some people use 'my kid', 'my boy', 'my child', etc, etc... And she just happened to use 'my baby'. There's nothing wrong with that. You are the problem, Fcked up in the head or something? Go take some chill pill kid.
In their defense, they were taught that when the seatbelt lock lights were on, it meant that everyone was secure and locked, and it even says that in the instruction manual (which we now know was clearly not the case) I would assume that, even though visual common sense would say there’s something wrong, i’d say they trusted their training too much, and relied on the lock detection light too much. Too much so that it overrided common sense
I didn’t expect to see Tyre in this video. My heart just dropped. It’s very hard to see him knowing what happens next. A young man, so full of life, such a bright future waiting for him and because of irresponsibility on the parks part, that’s gone. There’s no excuse great enough for this. His restraint was not locked down far enough. If that’s evident to us, it was evident to the workers. God help this boy’s family and friends. This is devastating. Rest In beautiful peace with Jesus, Tyre. 🙏🏻

0:28 he was too FAT AND HEAVY that's why it snapped not because the harness wasn't fully closed down besides his belly was in the way. 1:07 HE NEW HE WAS TOO FAT AND STILL INSISTED ON TRYING TO GET ON A RIDE AFTER BEING TOLD HE WAS TOO FAT. Well now his parent's can get paid but beside the employees someone should of been watching over him like his parents so that he didn't try to sneak on a ride after being told he was too FAT. Maybe next time his parents or chaperone should be at parks with roller coasters to make sure they don't get on a ride they aren't suppose to. The employee's couldn't see the danger and the owners aren't going be watching. Reply

I remember being upset because I couldn't get on a ride as they couldn't lock it down properly...I get it now safety definitely comes first 😔 r.i.p young man
If you need THIS to happen to understand why it's DANGEROUS and not allowed to go on a ride that can't lock you in place... 😳😳😳😳 Just drive your car with a open door and no seat belt, oh, you get that? But not rides going upside down and stuff... Damn ppl are stupid over in the states....
My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. The video of him smiling before just minutes of his death is truly heartbreaking. I cannot even begin to imagine what was going thru his head when he fell off the ride. RIP 🤍

@@LovetteKourt How would he no if the employee let him go on it. It's the employees job who was supposedly trained to do there job to say you CANNOT ride this ride even if he wanted to go on. He was not to big the ride did not fit him and they should have known this.
@Norah Elaine what do you mean by that please explain further in detail ! its A NOUN it can mean all of the above what made you catch your panties in a bunch for ?
I never deleted it !! Let me mourn for this YOUNG MAN CHILD BABY MINOR BOY HUMAN BEING as I feel ! You taking a comment that came from my heart and putting EVIL AND HATE INTO it for no reason! Take your possession and evil ass on !
I don’t understand why he was willing to risk it after being denied other rides for being too fat. The Harness not going down should have been a wake up call to quickly get out.
Truthfully he should have said something. But he’s a child and I’m not about to say it was his fault. However he knew other rides told him he couldn’t ride. Why would he think he could this one? Just seems he knew better. It’s so sad. Those workers should have pulled him off that ride tho. No doubt about that.
@@missychelle33 There’s different height/weight limits for different rides. He was 14, a full-blown child. They get the green light from authority and trust it, it’s that simple.
@@ceetaylorr yes I understand that. And that’s exactly what I said. Lol and yes he’s a child but a 14 year old knows what smart and stupid decisions are
No seat belt crotch harness = No safety. The size of the actual seat is also an issue relative to the size of the victim. The shoulder harness may have been locked down but it was clearly leaving a gap for him to fall out of. RIP Tyre and condolences to his family and friends. .
That's because his abdominal mass made it impossible for the harness to come all the way down to his crouch that's why he was dislodged when the ride suddenly stopped! He should have not been able to ride!
@Michael Simmons the ride design is horrible. The restraint needs to go in between the rider's legs for proper security. Many thrill rides have a sample seat before the line to the ride, so if a person tries it, and is too small or too big, they aren't allowed on the ride. RIP Young Man 💔🙏
@Michael Simmons The idiot workers shouldn’t have let him on in the first place. Should of told the kid he could not ride and that would of never happened in the first place. Now they are going to have to deal with a big lawsuit and that’s what they get. Sadly, they may have just been too dumb to realize he was too big to ride. I hope that ride gets shut down for good
Prayers to the family. And prayers to the others who witnessed this tragic incident. I couldn’t imagine witnessing such a thing. Everyone stay safe stay blessed

Each ride at any amusement should post weight and height restrictions relevant to each ride at any park- nationwide. Consumers have a right to know, a need to know in order to make their own best decision as to weather the ride is appropriate for them. Staff also need to be vigilant of weight and height restrictions and enforce the restrictions set forth in the manual for the ride they run. Staff should be required to test on manual information for each ride they choose to run as an employee. One life is one too many, lost. Tighten the amusement Industry.
Posting wont make a difference. I know most of my friends, family, and acquaintances have driver’s licenses with incorrect weights. People lie about their weight and they lie about their age. The only way you can enforce is to have a scale to weigh everyone at the gate. Which will slow down the onboarding of the rides and cut profits of the operator….(Hint: operator wants to make $$ in the captive time they have you in the park).
No, it’s clear in the video, which was hard to watch. That harness should have been flat against his chest and locked into place. I’m wondering if at any point he mentioned it didn’t feel secure. Such a beautiful young man with such a bright future. It rips your heart out.
@@JL-zn7me i read in the comments of another video someone said that on the news his friend he was with said tyre mentioned at the top of the ride that it wasn’t secure anymore n he was scared n to tell his parents he loved them if anything happened
This breaks my heart being a mother couldn't imagine the pain..... Lord please be with the family ✝️ through this difficult time. Sending my deepest condolences to the family.
My heart absolutely breaks for his family. That poor young man his life ahead of him . Oh I hope he passed out from fear before he hit the ground . I can’t let my mind go there of thinking what he was feeling . These rides are way to dangerous. I hope they ban them all.
Search up odds of dying in a car, by a lightning strike, by a coconut falling on your head, by a plane crash, by a shark attack and then search up the odds of dying on a coaster. This accident is tragic and should not have happened but roller coasters and rides are LITERALLY one of the safest things.
First of all, No one sat this kid in his seat he sat himself and that was the operator's fault. 100% to operate this equip at all you must agree to those terms.
You can't tell that yhe operators of that ride did not see that the harness was not engaged. That ride should not have been able to move at all. There should've been an alarm to say something isn't engaged.
Agreed. There is a video where one of the operators shoutsjust as the ride is about to start, "check seat belt, seat belt, left side!" but then just gives up and lets the ride continue. Someone knew that harness wasn't secured. And now this poor kid has lost his life 💔
There is a safety the don't let ride start if no latched .the seat was latched but his size there was big of a gap a the bottom the bar and bottom of seat. When ride was coming down and breaks came on he slipped though the gap
I worked a ride b4 n all the buttons turn green when everything is good n everyone is locked in. Everyone is a fault The workers for not focusing on him bcuz of his size or not telling him he can’t ride cuz it’s not safe. But it’s also his fault as well he knows he’s too big for that ride it’s sad tho.
My condolences to the family of of this handsome youngman whom seem to so humble and enjoying llife.My heart hurt deeply for the parents and the family he was on vacation with.🙏
He shouldn’t have been allowed to ride it on the first place. That poor kid knew something was going to happen. And shame on that employee for allowing him to ride it knowing the restraint wasn’t secure. I cannot imagine what that family is going through💔😢
Don't blame the employee, blame the ride designer. This ride will not function if just one harness isn't lowered and locked. For some reason, this seat told the computer that it was down and locked when it wasn't.. it's a faulty design at best, at worst a death ride.

he looked so happy in the video, it’s so sad to see something tragic like this happen to him. he was too young to die but may his beautiful soul rip❤️the people who work there are terrible and need more experience at training because if they had just checked first and made sure he was able to ride then there would be no problem. they need to be sued, so sad nowadays people can’t do their jobs anymore.
they will never be trained and should be banned from amusement parks , i have no sympathy for the workers who sit there running their mouths instead of doing their job which is why tyre died in an absolutely terrifying way
Its not just his weight. He looked a bit tall for the ride too. Sad they didnt refuse him like the other rides did. Im so sad for him and those lives he touched.
This is so heartbreaking. God bless you baby. Praying you are flying and feeling thrills in the sky with God now 🎡🎢🎟🙏🏽 sending comfort to the family 💕 🕊
His own dad mentioned his son was 6’5” tall and 340 lbs. All of this could have been avoided if workers had followed the rules. I’m so sorry for the family. And for the young man, because, this was a horrible way to die. I blame the amusement park. This was extreme negligence on their part.
Y’all gotta stop blaming it on the workers the kid has a mouth for his self to speak 🗣 knowing he couldn’t fit on the ride he still got on it with no hesitation knowing he couldn’t fit why risk ur life just for a ride 🤔
@@monique8902 If he was told no on other rides, one would assume that the operators in the park were actually doing their job and that they followed restrictions closely, meaning that a yes would mean he was cleared to go on. You’re talking about a 14-year-old. He was barely out of middle school.
I think they need to start putting the weight requirements just like they do for height. Now, my question is where were the adults?!? Sometimes, the child lies about their weight and while the workers should know better, there should have been an adult to supervise since he was a minor. Lastly, we need to stop encouraging people who are overweight that they can do just as much as everyone else. Idc if he was training to be a linebacker, this is not okay that we encourage gluttony so much especially in the U.S.. It is time we don't sugarcoat on this any longer because this will send the wrong message and this can lead to something like this. RIP to him 🙏🏾
@@monique8902 he's only 14 !! he need an advise from us adult or the worker, he's not matured enough to think the consequnces like us adult. They usually just focussing on playing games & to hve fun at that age. YOU ARE DISGUSTING HUMAN BEING EVER WITH A DEAD HEART OR NO HEART AT ALL
@@monique8902 I agree with you. Your comment is the truth. The news has said that it was verified that the workers checked the controls. They thought everyone was buckled up. It’s not the workers fault unless it can be proved otherwise.
Seems like a ride worker didn't want to be the one to have tell this boy he couldn't ride, for obvious reasons. These days simply doing your job gets you accused of all sorts of stuff and gets your face posted all over social media in an effort to shame you.
This young man was turned down on several rides. That has nothing to do with it. You are trying stir up something. This grown man that had a JOB to do for the safety of others is held responsible for the safety of a CHILD. No it didn't matter sense he was goofing off with the other riders instead of checking all seats. He looked at the light and confirm it was safe. He was recorded anyway now for someone's death.
@@kyotoonyxx agreed, BUT. at more than 6-6 and more than 340lbs, the 'child' was no doubt an intimidating figure. My son, by comparison, is almost 15 and 5-8, 125lbs. he's super strong (gymnast, martial arts and parkour), but he still looks like a kid, at 6-6 340 no one looks like a kid. It's horrible how he died, I cannot imagine anything like it. Wish he had never gotten on the ride in the first place.
Such a handsome young man. It breaks my heart so deeply that this even happened. It's very disturbing to know that they allowed him to ride with his harness up so high like that.
You couldn't pay me to get on any of those rides. So sad that this young man lost his life. I can"t imagine the fear he must have felt while falling. His father broke my heart when I saw him interviewed. This should have never happened.
Closed case. Combination of operator error, possible mechanical error with the seat level light indicator showing green when the restraint wasn't low enough,and his weight. This is the same image I saw, and I knew immediately that's why he died, the harness was too far from his lap, leaving a gap. If they had a secondary harness buckle at the bottom of the restraint to close the gap, he wouldn't have come out of the seat when the rides magnetic brakes engaged at the bottom of the tower at 70 mph. Small amusement park with a big park ride, but small mom & pop park operations/experience/training/industry experience. Cedar Fair has secondary seat belts on ALL of their big thrill rides. Redundancy saves lives.
I agree when the breaks stopped the force just made him slip out. And on top of that the seats tilt. I can only wonder with that space from his harness and the seats tipping if he started sliding at the top of the ride. I heard his dad say his friends told him something felt wrong on the ride. That poor baby just makes me sick. Operators can’t half ass their job when working with this large machines and people’s lives😔 also big amusement companies can’t half ass train employees. I hope he rest easy and wish the family and friends the best
i rode an exact ride like this when i was a little kid and i distinctly remember the overhwleming feeling of being insecure. At one point it seemed the only thing that kept me from slipping out was my deathgrip on the metal handlebars
I rode a ride like this at Knotts Berry Farm and my harness actually unlocked and lifted up and away which I knew wasn't right. It didn't just lift a few centimeters or inches and I was grabbing my friend's hand and her harness too. I'm the type of person to keep rechecking my belts, seat area, locks, harnesses everything! It clicked in, didn't move or shift around, yet it still flew up and people saw me off my seat gripping like crazy! They discontinued use of that seat and harness that day and I'm hoping that never happened again to someone else but I think with all rides there's always a risk. I'm 5'5", 135lbs, so I was within the weight limit. It really hurts my heart hearing about this fatal fall🥺. He was so young just enjoying his youth. Prayers and condolences to his family🙏💙
Seeing this honestly breaks my heart. My youngest brother is 14 and I couldn't imagine losing him like that. Luckily around here we are strict on our height and weight restrictions and if it doesn't close properly they will ask you to step off for your safety
@@Layla-rv7ym i didnt say it was the machines fault we all clearly know that. but the belt could had helped out also preventing this tragic incident! but it is what it is now nothing we can do!
He wasn't supervised properly neither , this really hurts me so bad , I been kicking myself all day 😢 & crying for him , that poor young man , all his hopes & dreams just blew away , just plain so sad , I can't stop thinking about this , I am so 💔 broken , this could have been my child or even me , God please take good care of Tyre 🙏😢💔
When this story first broke, it was said Tyre knew something was wrong and told his friend if he doesn't make it down to tell his mom and dad he loved them. I'm guessing he knew this when the ride got to the top and flipped the seats forward is when he must have realized how loose he was in that seat and he felt himself slipping out. He was the only person that had his feet sticking straight out when it started coming down as if he was desperate trying to find purchase to remain seated. This should have never happened. There are few tragedies that I haven't forgotten and this will be one of them. I hope his family and friends find some way to find peace and comfort.
he looks so sweet and so young man this breaks my heart seeing him if only he could have Holden onto those metal bars more 🥺🥺 ugh I hate knowing that he died I’m sorry no one deserves to die like this Rest In Peace 🙏🏼tyrese
I'm in my 40s...but even as a kid I never liked any of those rides. I mean I felt like I was falling to my death. Where is the fun in that? And even back then knowing about the risks, fatalities, and injuries made me feel like my fear was rational. So sad that fun turns tragic like this. I pray for his family.
I truly hope this incident opens the eyes of those who work at amusement parks and those who know they are clearly too big for rides. A lot of people are playing the blame game and pointing fingers in every direction but at the end of the day, everyone involved in this incident was to blame. Prayers to this boys family 🤍
A lot of people who took this ride wasn't aware of how dangerous it is. He probably think he will just hold onto the harness. Its a vertical drop. He probably doesn't know he will be tilting forward. And this is where the equation changed. His weight is now on the harness not on the seat. His weight pushes the harness free and he slipped under.
You know what they probably did check him, because checking is literally walking by and looking at each rider. But their "check" did no good if they still allowed him to ride clearly seeing this child could hardly even fit in the seat. They should have made him get off. I know it probably would have embarrassed him but at least he would be alive. So I do not doubt that they checked him, they just did nothing about the obvious danger this child was in.
It's hard watching this video of him knowing what happened. Seeing how happy he was and also nervous. But seeing this video helps us see that he was not safely harnessed on this ride. It even looks like he's barely in the seat and having to hold on to the silver bars by his side for leverage. The operators of this ride and any adult that was supervising him should have known that this was a risk just by how this child could not fit properly in the seat and should not have let him ride. Now this child is gone 💔
right I was noticing that too. he looked very uncomfortable in that seat it looked like he was already sliding down a little and was trying to push himself up on the metal bars on the seat. I wished he would have got off right then. 😢
This is heartbreaking. He just wanted to have a good time but they failed him miserably. That child didn't know, but he trusted them. I don't trust any of those fair and amusement park ride operators.
Just a sad situation. You can clearly see that it wasn’t properly on him, I can’t believe the workers missed that… I can’t imagine the pain his family is going through right now. No amount of lawsuit money will help to ease the pain that they’re going through!
Yes many times my kids were too short to get on a ride and they stood next to a sign at an amusement park and we said, “sorry you are not big enough yet.” My kids were disappointed but I took their hand and we went to ride something designed for smaller kids. This is the opposite problem and telling him that he was too big to ride would be hard to tell him. He would say he was being discriminated against. Who would want to turn him away and tell him he was too large to ride?
@@patsmith5947 he was turned away from several rides before he entered this ride. He wasn't old enough or mature enough to know if the ride don't fit don't ride it.
@@joketsu100 Tyre was an athlete. Perhaps he was losing weight…we didn’t know Tyre before this sad incident. The focus should not be how overweight he was at that age, but more on the negligence of the workers that resulted to that’s baby’s death. He was naturally a big boy with his height alone. Please stop and be respectful.
This makes my heart hurt. You can clearly see he was not properly secured in the seat they should have never allowed him to ride that ride. My condolences go out to the family this young man was destined for greatness and it was cut short because of the workers who failed to do there job. May he rest in piece 🙏

They usually go around to every passenger and grab the harness to make sure everything is secure. I've had the same thing happen to me as Im a slim person and the harnesses were too big. It was a superman ride and the whole time I felt like I was holding my own self in with a death grip.
Yeah I saw the ride operator just lightly touch the harness in the video. They're supposed to grab it to make sure it's secure. The ride operator don't look more than 16 years old himself. Imagine the PTSD and guilt he is feeling now. So sad all around :(
@@leeann4329 Oh stop, first it wasn't locked they didn't check him to make sure now u find out it was locked and u wanna say well it's cause they didn't check to see if he was secure. U guys want to keep finding a way to blame the person...he did his job, accidents happen.
I had always remembered this too, when I was a grade schooler and then high school girl when I went on amusement park rides! It made me feel more secure.
I never trust these type of rides. I’m super small (5 foot and 103lbs) and I’ve been on a ride like this. Never again. I couldn’t see anyone in my peripheral vision since the harness was so big and I was so short in the seat. There was so much room for me to slip out. I notified the operators but they said I’d be fine and kids smaller than me have ridden on it. When I came down from the ride, I was literally slipping out. Never again will I ride something like that.
I’m the same height and weight as you, and my fiancée made me go on a rollercoaster and I was too small for the harness. I got off. I don’t play with these rides, especially knowing these attendants are always SO lazy and careless they never check. This was at dorney park
Seeing him moments before he would die is just heartbreaking .There was a reason the the other rides denied him. I don’t know why but I feel really bad for him. He seemed really chill and nice
Yea, I really don’t like to victim blame but there’s a reason there are weight limits and ig some workers thought he fit the range. My hearts out to the family of the teen and those who were around to witness such a tragic scene.
@@itisimichael7485 victim blaming isn't even valid I this situation given that he was only 14 and therefore a minor.
Hes was a baby , someone’s son , a young man that was happy they let him ride he was excited and wasn’t expecting to die . All of America feels awful , anyone with the slightest bit of empathy and compassion feels bad watching that boy lose his life . Horrible accident that could have been avoided in many ways .
@@Ascension1004 people really need to shut up about his weight . He didn’t know and it wasn’t his job to determine . Those idiots let him ride and now that baby is gone .
@@Ascension1004 so he wasn’t a victim in a horrible accident? Im sure no matter what age of an individual is, if they are harmed or injured in a crime/accident they are immediately a victim. I’m just pointing out, like a lot of people, that if he was denied from a lot of rides why would this one be any different. One of the biggest free fall ride in the world. It’s a horrible accident that never should’ve happened. People were just negligent.
OK but can we please just talk about how disturbing it must’ve been for his friend sitting next to him on the ride?! Imagine watching your friend fall to their death Right next to you!! And not only that when the ride went down after he fell he had to see his friends body just laying there. Absolutely horrific to say the least.
That was his friend
As its coming down u hear ppl scream being happy scared nervous n having fun but as u keep on listening ppl really dont realize if the person is or isn't next to u as of ppl may close there eyes n stuff but im wondering if he fainted a lil as the ride came down n the pressure of it coming down might of made him fall n didn't atleast try to hold on...it happens alot to ppl that they faint for a couple of seconds....thats what i wonder he looked strong but idk just cannot get the image out of my head of his fall he was so young. May he rest in peace n i really hope he didn't feel it....
I said the same thing! That's awful!!
I would imagine everyone on that ride with him could have PTSD for years to come.
@@viewer409 that one guy was covering his eyes....but i heard a girl say call the ambulance none noticed when he fell n of course ppl close their eyes n scream but some have mini faints so i wonder if that happened to him as he came down. Thats why he fell n the pressure of it going fast pushed him of quicker....so sad
This is why people need to respect weight limits. Its not mean. Its safe and could save someone's life.
Exactly!!!
THAT'S the big elephant in the room that people UTTERLY REFUSE to address.
It wasn't about his 6'5 height, unfortunately the dude was dangerously overweight and out of shape, AT 14 yrs old.

@@thebluepineapple684 what kind of dumbass excuse is that..?
@@seanlewis1148 But I have a huge problem with the mom knowing he was morbidly overweight and did nothing. He ws refused access to two rides in the park because of his weight.

That looks so unsafe and wrong.. I cannot believe they allowed him to ride with the harness looking like that
Agree smh
Agreed.
May he forever R.I.P
Yet if they told him he was too fat to ride the amusement park would get sued for discrimination. The lefts political correctness and woke agenda is what creates these situations.
IAM not victimizing anyone but those immigrant worker's just don't give a damn they need to take pride in the skilled work they provide for a smaller pay,but it's not given due to cheap pay labor they get causing such catastrophes like this to take place all over.My condolences to the family of the teen who held a bright future.My apology goes out to the immigrants working cheap labor that they are required to do by so many companies such as theme park s in the southern areas.

I watched the video and there were people in the ride who didn’t understand that he actually was gone.

@@golemgoyims3335 You would NEVER say this to someones face, get knocked tf out
Unlike most shoulder restraints on amusement rides, it looks like these didn’t have a little cloth strap that buckles into a locking device that protrudes up from the seat. If it would’ve had that, that little strap of cloth would have prevented him from sliding out of the seat.
exactly what I was thinking..on a ride like that how can they expect one thing to hold you down.
Yeah like supreme scream at knotts in california has the seat. Never heard of an accident there
Every ride similar to that that I've been on have always had that buckle. I don't know what kind of setup that is. Sad
I said the same thing!! Like the buckle on infant seats.
It wouldnt of mattered. Because it wasn't able to buckle properly due to him not fitting in the seat.
Why they let him on the ride with his size is beyond INSANE. These rides are meant for a certain weight, and to let someone who is oversized, such as that young man, get on a ride is absolutely NEGLIGENT. I feel absolutely horrible for this young man, his family and friends. I hope they sue the shit out of the company and the people who employed the operators of the ride for not telling them the weight regulations!!!! If they did, include the operators of the ride as well!!!
Exactly
Yes, and they should've made sure ALL seats were safe and ready. Absolutely horrible and the people doing it deserve to be sued. He shouldn't even have been there in the first place, a live could've been saved, but no.
They were afraid if they turned him away, they'd be called "racist." This is what happens when you let the left takeover. 🤷
@@jamielehman4934 um that's a pretty big assumption . Not everyone plays the race card!!!! Lets say he did try that....he'd still be alive AND the weight regulations would shut him, and other people up quickly. Instead that young man loses his life and people seriously want to bring up and talk about politics and race? WTF. This generation and frankly, THE WORLD, IS FUCKED. NOBODY knows how to fucking act properly and don't understand BOUNDARIES, Let alone ENFORCING REGULATIONS coz they're afraid of any backlash, and can't, or don't know how or don't care how to talk properly to others in person!!!!

Probably didn't want to hurt his feelings, this is what happens when you don't tell people the truth.

@MUSIC IS LIFE You must've grow up in a pretty fcked up family to be flippin' about at anyone.
14 or 41... to a loving parent, their children would always be a baby in their eyes and heart no matter how old their children grow up to be. Just because the OP calls her son 'baby' doesn't mean that she treat him like one.
For fck's sake, It's just an informal version of a given pronoun. Some people use 'my kid', 'my boy', 'my child', etc, etc... And she just happened to use 'my baby'. There's nothing wrong with that.
You are the problem, Fcked up in the head or something? Go take some chill pill kid.
Would you let your baby get to 340 pounds? 😩
@@rickrodriguez3370 Baby? He’s 14!
He was too big for all the rides in the park.
That's what happens when you don't properly train the children running the rides. So what if you have to tell someone they are too big to ride.
Ur right
In their defense, they were taught that when the seatbelt lock lights were on, it meant that everyone was secure and locked, and it even says that in the instruction manual (which we now know was clearly not the case)
I would assume that, even though visual common sense would say there’s something wrong, i’d say they trusted their training too much, and relied on the lock detection light too much.
Too much so that it overrided common sense

Well now his parent's can get paid but beside the employees someone should of been watching over him like his parents so that he didn't try to sneak on a ride after being told he was too FAT.
Maybe next time his parents or chaperone should be at parks with roller coasters to make sure they don't get on a ride they aren't suppose to. The employee's couldn't see the danger and the owners aren't going be watching.

No seat belt crotch harness = No safety. The size of the actual seat is also an issue relative to the size of the victim. The shoulder harness may have been locked down but it was clearly leaving a gap for him to fall out of. RIP Tyre and condolences to his family and friends. .
Normaly the seat belt is not required.
That's because his abdominal mass made it impossible for the harness to come all the way down to his crouch that's why he was dislodged when the ride suddenly stopped! He should have not been able to ride!
…especially with a 30 degree tilt during the free fall and braking. Yes, the seatbelt was “locked” but he was it was not “secured.”
@Michael Simmons the ride design is horrible. The restraint needs to go in between the rider's legs for proper security. Many thrill rides have a sample seat before the line to the ride, so if a person tries it, and is too small or too big, they aren't allowed on the ride. RIP Young Man 💔🙏
@Michael Simmons The idiot workers shouldn’t have let him on in the first place. Should of told the kid he could not ride and that would of never happened in the first place. Now they are going to have to deal with a big lawsuit and that’s what they get. Sadly, they may have just been too dumb to realize he was too big to ride. I hope that ride gets shut down for good

@@jordantee9152 yes
Each ride at any amusement should post weight and height restrictions relevant to each ride at any park- nationwide.
Consumers have a right to know, a need to know in order to make their own best decision as to weather the ride is appropriate for them. Staff also need to be vigilant of weight and height restrictions and enforce the restrictions set forth in the manual for the ride they run. Staff should be required to test on manual information for each ride they choose to run as an employee.
One life is one too many, lost.
Tighten the amusement Industry.
Posting wont make a difference. I know most of my friends, family, and acquaintances have driver’s licenses with incorrect weights. People lie about their weight and they lie about their age. The only way you can enforce is to have a scale to weigh everyone at the gate. Which will slow down the onboarding of the rides and cut profits of the operator….(Hint: operator wants to make $$ in the captive time they have you in the park).

You can't tell that yhe operators of that ride did not see that the harness was not engaged. That ride should not have been able to move at all. There should've been an alarm to say something isn't engaged.
Agreed. There is a video where one of the operators shoutsjust as the ride is about to start, "check seat belt, seat belt, left side!" but then just gives up and lets the ride continue. Someone knew that harness wasn't secured. And now this poor kid has lost his life 💔
There is a safety the don't let ride start if no latched .the seat was latched but his size there was big of a gap a the bottom the bar and bottom of seat. When ride was coming down and breaks came on he slipped though the gap
@William Hoffmam exactly. That's the part that's being missed even though they clearly state it in the video.
I worked a ride b4 n all the buttons turn green when everything is good n everyone is locked in. Everyone is a fault The workers for not focusing on him bcuz of his size or not telling him he can’t ride cuz it’s not safe.

Don't blame the employee, blame the ride designer. This ride will not function if just one harness isn't lowered and locked. For some reason, this seat told the computer that it was down and locked when it wasn't.. it's a faulty design at best, at worst a death ride.

they will never be trained and should be banned from amusement parks , i have no sympathy for the workers who sit there running their mouths instead of doing their job which is why tyre died in an absolutely terrifying way
Its not just his weight. He looked a bit tall for the ride too.
Sad they didnt refuse him like the other rides did.
Im so sad for him and those lives he touched.
God bless that boy ! For him to die at 14 years old is just heartbreaking
The fact that they only rely on the indicator lights to know if its secure really terrifies me.
To his parents, loved one's & friends PRAYERS for all of you for your tremendous loss.....
Just in tears about this young man,,,and prayers goes up for his family
They did not check him. Lights on but harness wasn't locked. It locked after he fall off.
I agree
I was wondering how did it lock..Smh...So Sad
@CMMG. Raid what's so funny
@CMMG. Raid Oh ok..I was just wondering..Np🥰
He just looked so happy.. it's just so sad and it could have been avoided
This is so heartbreaking. God bless you baby. Praying you are flying and feeling thrills in the sky with God now 🎡🎢🎟🙏🏽 sending comfort to the family 💕 🕊
Amen
His own dad mentioned his son was 6’5” tall and 340 lbs. All of this could have been avoided if workers had followed the rules. I’m so sorry for the family. And for the young man, because, this was a horrible way to die. I blame the amusement park. This was extreme negligence on their part.
Y’all gotta stop blaming it on the workers the kid has a mouth for his self to speak 🗣 knowing he couldn’t fit on the ride he still got on it with no hesitation knowing he couldn’t fit why risk ur life just for a ride 🤔
@@monique8902 If he was told no on other rides, one would assume that the operators in the park were actually doing their job and that they followed restrictions closely, meaning that a yes would mean he was cleared to go on. You’re talking about a 14-year-old. He was barely out of middle school.
I think they need to start putting the weight requirements just like they do for height. Now, my question is where were the adults?!? Sometimes, the child lies about their weight and while the workers should know better, there should have been an adult to supervise since he was a minor. Lastly, we need to stop encouraging people who are overweight that they can do just as much as everyone else. Idc if he was training to be a linebacker, this is not okay that we encourage gluttony so much especially in the U.S.. It is time we don't sugarcoat on this any longer because this will send the wrong message and this can lead to something like this. RIP to him 🙏🏾
@@monique8902 he's only 14 !! he need an advise from us adult or the worker, he's not matured enough to think the consequnces like us adult. They usually just focussing on playing games & to hve fun at that age. YOU ARE DISGUSTING HUMAN BEING EVER WITH A DEAD HEART OR NO HEART AT ALL
@@monique8902 I agree with you. Your comment is the truth. The news has said that it was verified that the workers checked the controls. They thought everyone was buckled up. It’s not the workers fault unless it can be proved otherwise.
Seems like a ride worker didn't want to be the one to have tell this boy he couldn't ride, for obvious reasons. These days simply doing your job gets you accused of all sorts of stuff and gets your face posted all over social media in an effort to shame you.
or worse.
This young man was turned down on several rides. That has nothing to do with it. You are trying stir up something. This grown man that had a JOB to do for the safety of others is held responsible for the safety of a CHILD. No it didn't matter sense he was goofing off with the other riders instead of checking all seats. He looked at the light and confirm it was safe.
He was recorded anyway now for someone's death.
@@kyotoonyxx agreed, BUT. at more than 6-6 and more than 340lbs, the 'child' was no doubt an intimidating figure. My son, by comparison, is almost 15 and 5-8, 125lbs. he's super strong (gymnast, martial arts and parkour), but he still looks like a kid, at 6-6 340 no one looks like a kid. It's horrible how he died, I cannot imagine anything like it. Wish he had never gotten on the ride in the first place.
Such a handsome young man. It breaks my heart so deeply that this even happened. It's very disturbing to know that they allowed him to ride with his harness up so high like that.
You couldn't pay me to get on any of those rides. So sad that this young man lost his life. I can"t imagine the fear he must have felt while falling. His father broke my heart when I saw him interviewed. This should have never happened.
Young man? He was 14
@@kimberlyf5993 and he is young your still young at that age
@@TheLuxuriouss well he wasn’t a “young man” he was a kid.. a child
@@kimberlyf5993 that what lm saying it the same thing look it up.
Still don’t get how it happened
Closed case. Combination of operator error, possible mechanical error with the seat level light indicator showing green when the restraint wasn't low enough,and his weight.
This is the same image I saw, and I knew immediately that's why he died, the harness was too far from his lap, leaving a gap. If they had a secondary harness buckle at the bottom of the restraint to close the gap, he wouldn't have come out of the seat when the rides magnetic brakes engaged at the bottom of the tower at 70 mph.
Small amusement park with a big park ride, but small mom & pop park operations/experience/training/industry experience.
Cedar Fair has secondary seat belts on ALL of their big thrill rides. Redundancy saves lives.
They cannot find good help so hire anyone. I bet the worker working has a prison record.
Only losers thrill ride.
Real men find real sh!t to keep them entertained.
Exactly everyone already knows why it happened but someone has to be held responsible for it that's why this is being stretched.
Well said sir, I concur.
I agree when the breaks stopped the force just made him slip out. And on top of that the seats tilt. I can only wonder with that space from his harness and the seats tipping if he started sliding at the top of the ride. I heard his dad say his friends told him something felt wrong on the ride. That poor baby just makes me sick. Operators can’t half ass their job when working with this large machines and people’s lives😔 also big amusement companies can’t half ass train employees. I hope he rest easy and wish the family and friends the best
i rode an exact ride like this when i was a little kid and i distinctly remember the overhwleming feeling of being insecure. At one point it seemed the only thing that kept me from slipping out was my deathgrip on the metal handlebars
I rode a ride like this at Knotts Berry Farm and my harness actually unlocked and lifted up and away which I knew wasn't right. It didn't just lift a few centimeters or inches and I was grabbing my friend's hand and her harness too. I'm the type of person to keep rechecking my belts, seat area, locks, harnesses everything! It clicked in, didn't move or shift around, yet it still flew up and people saw me off my seat gripping like crazy! They discontinued use of that seat and harness that day and I'm hoping that never happened again to someone else but I think with all rides there's always a risk. I'm 5'5", 135lbs, so I was within the weight limit. It really hurts my heart hearing about this fatal fall🥺. He was so young just enjoying his youth. Prayers and condolences to his family🙏💙
I have to think the anti fat shaming phase we’re in causes people to be hesitant to tell someone they’re too big for something.
he was told he couldn't get on every other ride before this one so that's not the reason lmao it's the idiocy of the workers
I've seen it too many times.. either they don't want too embarrass the rider or start a scene. But it's better than losing a life..
Then he shouldn't be in that job
@@melaniemmml2654 That's what I'm saying...
I just hope he is resting well and in peace
Seeing this honestly breaks my heart. My youngest brother is 14 and I couldn't imagine losing him like that. Luckily around here we are strict on our height and weight restrictions and if it doesn't close properly they will ask you to step off for your safety
changes should had been made when other incidents like this happened! all rides need belts and harness! no excuses!
Why tho? Mist manufacturer dont Require that safety measure and its an choice of the park. Also every ride has an restraint
Or..... how about just don't get on it.
It's nor the machine's fault. The parents and operators should have known better then to allow him on knowing there's a weight limit for a reason.
@@Layla-rv7ym i didnt say it was the machines fault we all clearly know that. but the belt could had helped out also preventing this tragic incident! but it is what it is now nothing we can do!
The boy would not have died if he hadn’t eaten to the size of a baby elephant
The reason why I don’t do amusement parks!
Prayers to his family during this very difficult time 💗
Heart breaking! Sending prayers to the family.
He wasn't supervised properly neither , this really hurts me so bad , I been kicking myself all day 😢 & crying for him , that poor young man , all his hopes & dreams just blew away , just plain so sad , I can't stop thinking about this , I am so 💔 broken , this could have been my child or even me , God please take good care of Tyre 🙏😢💔

Don’t be overly dramatic.
The poor guy was too big for the ride....knew it wasn't right, but went with it anyway.
Correct.... everyone is responsible
He was 14
@@loliwemoyo5680 why does it matter that he’s 14? All he said was poor guy. Anyway, RIP to that young man.
YOLO
@@loliwemoyo5680 yeah a 400 pound kid what did he expect 🤣
This is so sad :( he went to have fun and didn’t end up leaving. Condolences to his family. 💐
When this story first broke, it was said Tyre knew something was wrong and told his friend if he doesn't make it down to tell his mom and dad he loved them.
I'm guessing he knew this when the ride got to the top and flipped the seats forward is when he must have realized how loose he was in that seat and he felt himself slipping out. He was the only person that had his feet sticking straight out when it started coming down as if he was desperate trying to find purchase to remain seated.
This should have never happened. There are few tragedies that I haven't forgotten and this will be one of them.
I hope his family and friends find some way to find peace and comfort.
I got chills you describing it
he looks so sweet and so young man this breaks my heart seeing him if only he could have Holden onto those metal bars more 🥺🥺 ugh I hate knowing that he died I’m sorry no one deserves to die like this Rest In Peace 🙏🏼tyrese
Such the sweetest babyish face regardless of his size”
How can they weight blame ! He was 14 THEY let him on the ride, THEY didn’t check his belt it lies on THEM !
I'm in my 40s...but even as a kid I never liked any of those rides. I mean I felt like I was falling to my death. Where is the fun in that? And even back then knowing about the risks, fatalities, and injuries made me feel like my fear was rational. So sad that fun turns tragic like this. I pray for his family.
I truly hope this incident opens the eyes of those who work at amusement parks and those who know they are clearly too big for rides. A lot of people are playing the blame game and pointing fingers in every direction but at the end of the day, everyone involved in this incident was to blame. Prayers to this boys family 🤍
He shouldn't have been comfortable riding without that harness being closed,nor should they have let him ride without it being secured properly
A lot of people who took this ride wasn't aware of how dangerous it is. He probably think he will just hold onto the harness. Its a vertical drop. He probably doesn't know he will be tilting forward. And this is where the equation changed. His weight is now on the harness not on the seat. His weight pushes the harness free and he slipped under.
I agree but a 14 year boy with adrenaline isn't thinking about the consequences.
@@sariel8406 right !
It was locked but he was big the ride and slipped underneath the the bar.
@@sariel8406 yes lord he didn't know, heck I wouldn't have known.
My heart goes out to the family
My heat goes out to KFC they lost a lifetime customer 😪
Poor kid he just wanted to have fun 🥺. I was imagine if he was my own son. Rip precious angel. My condolences to his family
Did yall check him? Yes. (Greatest lie ever told)
You know what they probably did check him, because checking is literally walking by and looking at each rider. But their "check" did no good if they still allowed him to ride clearly seeing this child could hardly even fit in the seat. They should have made him get off. I know it probably would have embarrassed him but at least he would be alive. So I do not doubt that they checked him, they just did nothing about the obvious danger this child was in.
It's hard watching this video of him knowing what happened. Seeing how happy he was and also nervous. But seeing this video helps us see that he was not safely harnessed on this ride. It even looks like he's barely in the seat and having to hold on to the silver bars by his side for leverage. The operators of this ride and any adult that was supervising him should have known that this was a risk just by how this child could not fit properly in the seat and should not have let him ride. Now this child is gone 💔
right I was noticing that too. he looked very uncomfortable in that seat it looked like he was already sliding down a little and was trying to push himself up on the metal bars on the seat. I wished he would have got off right then. 😢
This is heartbreaking. He just wanted to have a good time but they failed him miserably. That child didn't know, but he trusted them. I don't trust any of those fair and amusement park ride operators.

Just a sad situation. You can clearly see that it wasn’t properly on him, I can’t believe the workers missed that… I can’t imagine the pain his family is going through right now. No amount of lawsuit money will help to ease the pain that they’re going through!
Heartbreaking 😭😭😭
Crying emoji is so abused it looks like your laughing about it
I think the guy was too fat for the ride. I hope this never happens again.
It won’t, he died
From this angle, you can see how his lower body was already hanging half way off the seat. No wonder he slipped out and fell.
I remember when my son was too short to get on the rides at six flags so I didn't bring him. Responsible parenting.
Yes many times my kids were too short to get on a ride and they stood next to a sign at an amusement park and we said, “sorry you are not big enough yet.” My kids were disappointed but I took their hand and we went to ride something designed for smaller kids. This is the opposite problem and telling him that he was too big to ride would be hard to tell him. He would say he was being discriminated against. Who would want to turn him away and tell him he was too large to ride?
His size alone if I was his parent I'd tell him he needs to lose weight if he wants to go on the ride. I agree his parents should have stopped this
@@patsmith5947 he was turned away from several rides before he entered this ride. He wasn't old enough or mature enough to know if the ride don't fit don't ride it.
@@joketsu100 Tyre was an athlete. Perhaps he was losing weight…we didn’t know Tyre before this sad incident. The focus should not be how overweight he was at that age, but more on the negligence of the workers that resulted to that’s baby’s death. He was naturally a big boy with his height alone. Please stop and be respectful.
@@ThePresentTimeNow exactly
A 14 year old weighs 340lbs is the most shocking thing here. that's unheard of? are you sure?
This makes my heart hurt. You can clearly see he was not properly secured in the seat they should have never allowed him to ride that ride. My condolences go out to the family this young man was destined for greatness and it was cut short because of the workers who failed to do there job. May he rest in piece 🙏

Very sad , thinking he feels bad that he couldn’t help he’s friend
Why didn't he get worried about the harness tho ?
@@mrsraven9169 if i was a kid I would just think that the harness was secure enough or normal. They said he was ok to go so he probably thought it was okay to ride when they told him that
They usually go around to every passenger and grab the harness to make sure everything is secure. I've had the same thing happen to me as Im a slim person and the harnesses were too big. It was a superman ride and the whole time I felt like I was holding my own self in with a death grip.
Yeah I saw the ride operator just lightly touch the harness in the video. They're supposed to grab it to make sure it's secure. The ride operator don't look more than 16 years old himself. Imagine the PTSD and guilt he is feeling now. So sad all around :(
@@leeann4329 Oh stop, first it wasn't locked they didn't check him to make sure now u find out it was locked and u wanna say well it's cause they didn't check to see if he was secure. U guys want to keep finding a way to blame the person...he did his job, accidents happen.
I had always remembered this too, when I was a grade schooler and then high school girl when I went on amusement park rides! It made me feel more secure.
Take that ride down 👎🏻
I think the ride should have a weigh limit
I never trust these type of rides. I’m super small (5 foot and 103lbs) and I’ve been on a ride like this. Never again. I couldn’t see anyone in my peripheral vision since the harness was so big and I was so short in the seat. There was so much room for me to slip out. I notified the operators but they said I’d be fine and kids smaller than me have ridden on it. When I came down from the ride, I was literally slipping out. Never again will I ride something like that.
I’m the same height and weight as you, and my fiancée made me go on a rollercoaster and I was too small for the harness. I got off. I don’t play with these rides, especially knowing these attendants are always SO lazy and careless they never check. This was at dorney park
This young man essentially died because the maker of the ride refused to install a $19 safety seat belt that can hold up against 600 lbs.
yep
Your point is valid and makes complete sense, but the kid wasn’t 600 lbs…
