in his seat on the drop tower ride. Sampson's harness appears to be much higher compared to other riders.
The state's accident report says the ride was coming down the tower and when the magnets engaged, Sampson fell out of his seat, but the harness was still in a down and locked position when the ride stopped.Fox 35 showed the videos to two different experts and their opinions were similar. "I see a patron in an amusement ride and that over the shoulder restraint system is not properly affixed.""It should have been a closed circuit. Where it came all the way down over the shoulder containing the person and resting in their lap or the seat pan."
FOX 35 went through the operator's manual and found out how the harnesses are checked. Workers pull up a screen and ‘green’ means the seat is locked and good to go. The attendants at the ride that night say they did check Sampson's seat and say it was locked. Documents submitted to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services division by the owners of Orlando FreeFall -- part of the regulatory process for amusement rides – provide a picture into how the ride works and processes followed. Those documents are also sparking lots of questions.
