I was surprised nobody on here reported the death on the drop ride at ICON Park in Orlando! Real tragedy, I hope that kid's family gets some closure and gets a settlement from ICON park. Anyone know why this drop tower had no backup seatbelts?

Look at any B&M invert – you can unbuckle mid ride if you want to. If that was really dangerous, then you can bet they'd require an operator unlock
If I was a betting man, I'd say that this one will come down to a much too generous threshold on the restraint locking system.

-I agree, and believe that will be determined it is the case here.

That and the seat design isnt deep enough/horn isnt tall enough. I have enough issue with straight drop towers, let alone the ones designed to dump you out.-I agree, and believe that will be determined it is the case here.

Does this thing actually drop with the seats tilted outwards?
Whatever you do, do not watch the video. It's one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen.

Yes, it does drop angled out. Though the angle isn’t nearly as extreme as is it on Falcon’s Fury or Acrophobia.That and the seat design isnt deep enough/horn isnt tall enough.
