New Details Emerge After Family Files Lawsuit
On April 25th of 2022, it was reported that the family of Tyre Sampson had decided to sue Icon Park for the death of the 14-year-old. The lawsuit revealed many new details about the circumstances surrounding the accident. According to state investigators who looked into the matter, there were significant issues with the seats on the ride at the time of Tyre’s passing. A report stated that the Tyre’s seat allowed for a seven-inch opening, when the maximum opening should have been just three inches. The implication is that Tyre slipped out of the restraints due to the fact that they were too loose.
This issue could have been avoided, the report states, if there had been sufficient manual adjustments made on a regular basis. Evidence shows that these manual adjustments did in fact take place, but the seat in question still exhibited a seven-inch gap at the bottom rather than the acceptable 3-inch gap. Among other things, the lawsuit argues that the riders should have been made aware of the risks, and that safer alternate seat designs should have been implemented to prevent “the risk of a rider coming out of the seat and the catastrophic injuries associated with such an event.”
