There was a horrendous accident at a Florida amusement park that left a child dead, and sadly it's yet another case of the fact ... these rides are not risk free.
A 14-year-old boy was riding the"Orlando Free-Fall" at ICON Park Thursday when he fell to the ground and died. The apex of the ride stands at 430 feet ... the park boasts the world's tallest freestanding drop tower. An eyewitness told Fox News 35 ..."At first we thought it was a piece of the ride or whatever until we got a little closer and it was a person laying on the ground. Everyone was just panicking and screaming."The ride is a new edition ... it opened in December. The way it works ... once the chairs reach the top, they hurl toward earth at 75 mph.
