Juneteenth Project Coalition Interview

We have filed a report with US Consumer Product Safety Commission. 

Also: "Following the death of Tyre Sampson, who was in Orlando for a football program, according to his family, Slingshot Group suspended the operations of its two rides at ICON Park. However, its other attractions appear to be operating as normal.

According to Fox 35: "We are heartbroken by the loss of Tyre Sampson and absolutely devastated for his family and loved ones," Ritchie Armstrong, CEO of The Slingshot Group, said in a new statement late Tuesday. We have suspended the operations of the Free Fall ride and the Slingshot ride at ICON Park. We are fully cooperating with authorities at the state and local levels who are investigating this tragic incident. We plan on providing additional information in the coming days, as we learn more."

This is not enough!

According to the Saturday Evening Post: "According to the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA), the risk of “being seriously injured on a fixed-site ride at a U.S. amusement park is 1 in 16,000,000,”

Tyre Sampson died due to negligence.
