Somewhere I'm sure there is video of whether or not the kid was screwing around before he fell. Sadly that is what usually has happened.

Those rides usually have 2 types of hold downs. How do you eject?

Kids do stupid things. Many have been killed screwing around on amusement park rides. .

Those rides are supposed to be idiot proof but too many idiots prove them wrong.

Final words--- I'm Peter Pan. I can fly.

The ride itself is around 400 feet. He didn't plunge 400, he fell out on the way down, probably less than half that.

Also, from what I've been told he was too big for the restraint thing or whatever to latch properly. As to whether or not there was a secondary restraint that wasn't properly used is still under investigation.

I've seen the video and it didn't look to be the case.

Big boy. It is usually the kids that are too small for the restraints that have accidents.

Big lawsuit coming. He looks like the harness wouldn’t fit.

The free fall ride at kings island has a size limit, if you’re too large(heavyset, obese,FAT) the shoulder harness won’t latch properly and they ask you to exit the ride. This kid looks way too large for the shoulder restraints to work properly

Really tragic. I saw the video and he looked very happy before the ride took him up.
RIP young man.

The picture I saw looks like it wasn't fastened properly. Whoever was in charge of last second checking of the safety harness screwed up royally on this one. He was too big to ride to begin with.

Too big to snap in.
