On March 24, 2022, Tyre Sampson, 14, died after falling off of the Orlando FreeFall ride at ICON Park. A report commissioned by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, conducted by Quest Engineering, states that a "proximity sensor" for the harness being used by Sampson was "manually loosened," which meant that Sampson wasn't properly secured in his seat.
