I suspect the boy smart assed his place into that seat by pretending the security device was engaged when in fact it wasn't, he cheated himself to death.

14 year old mentality Darwinized him.

How clumsy do you have to be to fall out of an amusement park ride that has two handles whose sole purpose is to hold on to them with both your hands??

This is why vertical video was invented, it showed everything PERFECT

Check for vitals. Perform a visual assessment. F'ing well ask if there's a doctor or nurse on the bloody ride?

I guess the only thing they did right was to not try to move him.

And the crew?

Immediately in cover our ass mode.

Given the velocity, the kid was probably in bad shape, and the injuries may be mortal, but slim chance becomes no chance right quick when people just do sweet F-all.

Even touching the corpse will open yourself up for lawsuits; what if you find a pulse, are you going to touch or stabilise him?

"Last season, they had a good football season. Went to nationals. Could have been a recruiting trip – wasn’t sure? It was something in that nature," he explained.

Damn, father of the fucking year right there

Also he definitely slipped out of it,
320 pounds accelerated to 75miles per hour. Think about that. It means that if the space was even big enough for his hips/ skeletal frame to fit through, it would have slipped as all that fat does nothing and will easily “mold” through the restraints.

The seats are also tilted down so there was only his fat to hold him in place.
McDonald’s and the parents caused this accident I am afraid.

As for the personnel; they are instructed: move restraint down until it cannot be moved up any more; if all lights are green, the system allows you to engage the ride. If a light is not green the ride cannot be started and you need to go to the specific seat and lock it into place until it will not move upward anymore

added Simone's longer vid to the main post.

Don't know if there's a weight limit for that ride or not but the boy didn't want to go in the first place but was persuaded to go so this is going to be a lawyer's battle that's for sure. The other people on the ride that came down and had to get out close to the splatted body is food for therapists.

there is a woman who is inconsolable in the background trying to be held up by another woman..I wonder if that's one of his family members
