A 14-year-old boy has died after falling from an amusement park ride in Orlando, Florida on Thursday night.
The boy, who has not been publicly identified, reportedly fell from the Orlando FreeFall attraction at ICON Park, the tallest drop tower ride in the world. Emergency first responders were called to the park at 11:12 p.m. local time on Thursday evening to investigate.

In a statement released by police on Friday morning, they revealed that the teenager was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
On drop towers, passengers are strapped into seats around a central pillar. The seats are slowly raised to great heights and then dropped, sliding down the pillar at tremendous speed to give the feeling of falling to your doom — before safely being slowed to a stop.
At least, it’s supposed to be safe…
Per Today, social media video taken at the scene by a bystander purports to show the ride in question beginning to rise. In the horrific clip, an unidentified rider can be seen falling from the tower as it begins to drop to the ground. As the ride ends, several people who appear to be park employees can be heard asking others to confirm whether they “checked him” prior to the awful fall.
John Stine, a spokesperson for Slingshot Group, which owns and operates the ride in question, also released a statement about the tragedy to NBC News.
In that statement, Stine informed the news outlet that the Orlando FreeFall ride would be closed indefinitely amid the ongoing investigation, and said it appeared as though the boy was wearing a safety harness on the ride at the time of the tragedy. The spokesperson added:
