“The defendants in Tyre’s case showed negligence in a multitude of ways. One of the most glaring examples was failing to provide a $22 seatbelt on a ride that cost several million dollars to construct,” injury attorney Benjamin Crump said
The family of a 14-year-old boy who fell to his death from a drop tower in Florida is suing the amusement park and the ride’s manufacturer for allegedly neglecting proper safety precautions.
Tyre—who stood at 6 feet, 2 inches and weighed 380 pounds—was allowed on the ride without any hesitation from staff even though he was significantly over the weight limit, according to the court documents. . “From the ride and seat manufacturers and the installer to the owners and operators, the defendants had more than enough chances to enact safeguards, such as seatbelts, that could have prevented Tyre’s death. They didn’t, and their poor decisions resulted in deadly consequences for a promising young man and lifelong pain for his family.”
