Horrific. Nobody should go out like that. Certainly not that young and on vacation with his family nonetheless. My sincerest condolences to the family and all who were there to witness this.
Someone tragically fell working on this ride a year ago if I recall. Icon park has established an infamous legacy at this point and I don't see how they will ever be able to recover, especially from the inevitable lawsuits. Even if businesses don't pull out, I think you'll see them suffer from lack of attendance.
Horrible stuff.
Well I will say that, unless they make absolutely sure that this will never happen again with new safety protocols, even then I don't feel comfortable going on this ride. And this is coming from someone who is generally pretty trusting of ride safety in general. I can only imagine the rest of the general population will feel the same way. I'm baffled how they allowed such a severe design flaw in the restraints to fall through the cracks (At least so I've heard).It will never reopen. This happened in front of dozens of people, and was captured on video by multiple people. The ride is brand new and already has a completely ruined legacy. Icon Park will be sued for all they have, and they will deserve it. Given that this is a shopping mall, a bunch of businesses will pull out due to not wanting to be associated with the ride. The future of Icon Park isn't looking very great.
