Florida Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services Nikki Fried announced the filing of an administrative complaint on Tuesday against Orlando Eagle Drop Slingshot, LLC, due to the death of a teenage boy earlier this year. During a press conference with State Senator Geraldine Thompson, Fried shared proposals to increase rider safety for future guests. She also announced that her office would issue a $250,000 fine for the death of Tyre Sampson, 14, as well as a bill named after Sampson that would better enforce safety requirements such as maintenance, inspections, employee training and more.
