   New documents reveal what may have gone wrong when a 14-year-old   
   fell from an Orlando thrill ride and died last week.   
      
   Tyre Sampson’s family released red heart balloons on Monday   
   night at the memorial that has formed at ICON Park.   
      
   An accident report from the state showed the ride did not   
   malfunction.   
      
   Documents make it clear that Sampson should not have been   
   allowed to ride the Orlando FreeFall. The report said the 14-   
   year-old was over the weight and size limit for the ride.

   The accident report said the harness was still in the “down” and   
   “locked” position after the ride stopped.   
      
   According to the ride manual, the maximum weight of a rider   
   should be 286 pounds.   
      
   Sampson’s father said he was about 60 pounds heavier than that.   
      
   Family said the teen was turned away from other rides.

   “They told him he was too big for it,” Shay Johnson said. “You   
   told him he couldn’t get on the swing. You told me he couldn’t   
   get on the SlingShot. So why did you allow him to get on this?”   
      
   In another section of the manual, it said large people should   
   fit into the seat and the harness should fit properly, otherwise   
   they should not ride.   
      
   ICON Park is now calling for the owner of FreeFall to suspend   
   operation of the ride and the Orlando SlingShot effective   
   immediately, until the authorities certify the attractions are   
   safe.

   have the Orlando FreeFall destroyed and a statue of Sampson   
   built in its place.
