BREAKING Sensors were adjusted manually on Florida ride where teen fell to his death, according to new report
, according to an initial report released Monday by outside engineers.
One man said he was standing in front of the ride the night of the teen's death and noticed the red flags. An inspection of the seats showed that sensors used to activate safety lights on the two seats, indicating the harness safety restraints were in place, had been adjusted to allow for the wider openings. As the ride slowed down, Sampson slipped through a gap between the seat and safety harness, the report said.
The Orlando Free Fall ride, which is taller than the Statue of Liberty, didn't experience any electrical or mechanical failures, the report said.
