Florida Jury Awards $310 Million to Family of Teen Who Died on Amusement Ride

A Florida jury has awarded $310 million to the family of Tyre Sampson, a teenager who tragically fell to his death from a ride at an Orlando amusement park in 2022. The court found that negligence by the ride’s operators and the manufacturer, Funtime Handels GMBH, contributed to his death. Tyre, who exceeded the weight limit for the ride, died after falling 30 meters and was unable to be secured safely as there were no seat belts. The jury’s decision emphasizes the importance of safety over profits.
