Thrill Rides

 We live near Orlando.  A heartbreaking incident happened at a theme park.  A 14 year old  boy fell to his death out of a drop tower.  It goes way up in the air and you free fall.  Only when the breaks applied, this boy fell through.  One thing we see a lot of around here is that teens to to be the ride operators.  If you ever go on a thrill ride double and triple check your safety devices.  Do not take their word for it.  In this case, I do not even think they checked his harness.  There was not a seat belt.  In a video that was posted, you can hear people ask a teen if he checked the harness.  He keeps saying that the light was on.  To me, that says, he did not physically check the harness.  Even after it happened, they did not seem prepared for such an event.  Maybe it was shock.
