The National Safety Council says 1,281 people were injured because of amusement park rides in 2021.
Ritchie Armstrong, who works for Orlando Slingshot, which operates Orlando FreeFall, told Fox News Digital in a statement that the company is pleased that the "Tyre Sampson Act" passed."We continue to be devoted to the safety of our patrons and have voiced our support for this legislation throughout the process in the legislature," Armstrong said.
"I was originally live on TikTok, but I had to stop it because I was afraid of one of the kids falling out," Freymuller said. "There's no seat belt, no harnesses… the ride is meant to keep you on with gravity because there's nothing keeping them in the car. We thought they were going to fall out."In New Jersey, a decorative helicopter that was hanging from the ceiling fell and crashed into a swimming pool on Feb. 19.
