☆ Family of Missouri teen who fell to his death on Orlando free-fall ride gets $310 million verdict

A Florida jury delivered a $310 million verdict Thursday to the family of Tyre Sampson, the Missouri teen who plunged to his death while on a free-fall ride at an amusement park over two years ago. “This verdict is a step forward in holding corporations accountable for the safety of their products,” family attorney Ben Crump said in a statement. The damages, part of a wrongful death lawsuit the family filed one month after Tyre's death on March 24, 2022, were split evenly between Tyre's mother and father. Tyre's family reached a settlement last year with two other defendants named in the suit: ICON Park and Eagle Drop Slingshot, the ride’s owner. Ron DeSantis signed the Tyre Sampson Act into law, which strengthens safety standards for amusement park rides.

The Orlando FreeFall ride at Florida’s Icon Park has been closed since the incident and the operator said in October it would permanently close the ride. Florida officials are seeking more than $250,000 in fines against the operator of a 430-foot-tall ride at Icon Park in Orlando after a 14-year-old boy fell to his death earlier this year. Nikki Fried , commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services, said an investigation found that Tyre Sampson fell from the Orlando FreeFall drop tower because of changes made on the ride by the operators.
