Teenager (14) who slammed to death in an American amusement park was a “friendly giant” of 154 kg: “Why was he allowed to sit on this attraction?”

The teenager who fell from a so-called ‘freefall tower’ in the United States on Thursday evening weighed 154 kilograms and was almost two meters tall. Due to his physique, he was previously denied access to other attractions. The father of the victim Tire Sampson (14) therefore wonders: “Why was he allowed to sit on this attraction?”. A photo circulating on social media, meanwhile, raises questions about whether the boy was strapped in tight enough.
