Absolutely horrifying and tragic reports are coming in from authorities in Orlando where a 14-year-old boy fell to his death at a leading theme park.
Shocking video footage is now making the rounds on social media which clearly showcase the before and after horror of the incident where the boy can be seen in the air, seconds before his untimely death.
Other people were seen sitting nearby in close proximity, without any clue regarding what was going to happen next.
Audio can be heard where a number of riders are seated with their harnesses in a downward position. Meanwhile, others are busy asking the ride’s operator where the seat-belts were and how they should be plugged in.
To that, the operator boldly says that there are actually no seatbelts on this particular ride, leaving a few dumbfounded.
All of a sudden, the ride is sent out in the air as a giant group of people are held closely together via pull-down plastic harnesses. But in no time, the mood of the scene changes from happy to tragic as the young boy falls out by slipping through his seat as it is sent out at nearly 75 mph.
The young child’s parents watched in absolute terror as their child helplessly falls down and brutally slams on to the ground, near to the ride.
The police have named the victim as 14 year old Tyre Simpson who was labeled as a loving teen from Missouri that happened to be on vacation with his family.
Tyre fell out of his seat at Orlando’s ICON theme park after not being buckled properly, falling at a devastating speed of 75mph.
While investigations into the heartbreaking tragedy continue, initial images of Tyre before the ride appear to show the harness being unbuckled or not being pulled properly down so as to fasten him in his seat.
Cops are viewing the incident as a terrible tragedy, adding how it is still not clear if the tour operator even ensured that the riders were bucked in safely.
