A jury in Orange County, Florida, ruled in a civil trial that Funtime Handels, a foreign company associated with the ride, must pay million in damages to Sampson’s family, Nexstar’s WFLA reported.
This verdict is a step forward in holding corporations accountable for the safety of their products.
The jury’s decision confirms what we have long argued: Tyre’s de@th was the result of blatant negligence and a failure to prioritize safety over profits.
The ride’s manufacturers neglected their duty to protect passengers, and today’s outcome ensures they face the consequences of those decisions.
We hope this case serves as a wake-up call for the entire industry to implement stricter safety measures and oversight to prevent such tragedies from happening again.
