A 6-year-old boy in Florida was left severely injured at a theme park after apparently falling from a ride that was nearly two dozen feet above where he was found, authorities said.

    Isn’t this the same place where a kid died last year because one of their rides had a faulty harness or something?

          Oh my gosh you’re right, that’s embarrassing. I’m deleting my comment from before, oops. Thank you!

      It was a vertical drop ride at the nearby Icon Park and the investigstion found that the harness had been improperly modified by the park at some point to theoretically accommodate large people in such a way that if a big enough person sat there it would fail to lock without any alert or warning; the scary thing is that it was probably like that for a long time. One thing the major Orlando parks have going for them is extremely tight safety standards, these side parks always seem like low budget attempts to prey on people who can’t afford Disney lol

      Good ole Florida. Gotta protect the kids from woke and socialist regulations on rollercoasters.
