Tyre Sampson died because he was too fat.

Remember Tyre Sampson? The teenage boy who fell to his death from a drop tower ride on Orlando?

Death vid to remind you:

Well, everyone's being super sensitive about it, but the reason he died was because was too fat.

385 lbs. Wayyyy over the limit of the ride. His weight combined with the momentum and the sudden stop broke the restraints.

Don't be fat.

Hard to figure out, according to CNN:

Yes

But then according to other reports, there had been some sort of modification made:

"This report confirmed that manual adjustments had been made to the sensor [of] the seat in question that allowed the harness-to-restraint opening to be almost double that of the normal restraint opening range," Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried said at the time.

Some people in the thread were saying he wasn’t. He was probably fastened in as best as the belt could hold his fatass.

He should have gotten off the ride (instead of falling off) and the r-slurred employees should have been based and told him he’s too fat to ride.

That splat, holy shit. It’s funny in a twisted way how the other riders seemed more concerned about getting out of the ride than about the kid that just died.

>Get us out, get us out.

Don’t be too fat to ride, the employee making minimum wage isn’t bothering to enforce that shit.
