ORLANDO, Fla. - The forensic investigation into how 14-year-old Tyre Sampson fell to his death from the Orlando FreeFall drop tower ride at ICON Park concluded that one of the ride's harness sensors had been manually adjusted, falsely providing a safety OK, when Sampson was, in fact, not properly secured, according to the report's findings.Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried said that findings by Quest Engineering, a forensics company hired by the state, determined that the operator of the Orlando FreeFall made manual adjustments to the ride's harness sensor "resulting in it being unsafe.""The report confirms that manual adjustments had been made to the sensor for the seat in question that allowed the harness to restraints opening to be almost double that of the normal restraints opening range," Fried said during a Monday afternoon press conference."These misadjustments allowed the safety lights to illuminate improperly satisfying the rides electronic safety mechanisms, that allowed the ride to operate even though Mr. Sampson was not properly secured in the seat."You can view a copy of Quest Engineering's report below.Fried said that there are many other potential contributing factors that may have played a role in the incident and the investigation continues. The drop tower will remain closed indefinitely, Fried said. Fried promised earlier this month a "complete and thorough investigation" into how Tyre Sampson fell from the Orlando FreeFall drop tower at ICON Park.
