Bodycam footage shows EMTs rush to save life of 'tiny' six-year-old boy and load him into ambulance after he fell 20 feet from rollercoaster at Florida Fun Spot theme park

New dramatic bodycam footage shows officers rushing to save the life of a six-year-old boy who fell 20 feet from a rollercoaster at a Florida theme park last week.  

The boy, described by witnesses as 'tiny' was said to have slipped out of his seat of the Galaxy Spin roller coaster at Fun Spot America Amusement Park in Kissimmee.

EMT's can be seen arriving at the chaotic scene and speaking to witnesses after the boy was loaded into the ambulance. 

Florida officials said the kid was hospitalized after suffering 'traumatic injuries' from the 20 feet fall last Thursday. He was transported to Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children.

Another passenger on the ride before him told police there was a small opening in the ride in the video obtained by ABC.

Florida police released dramatic bodycam footage Friday morning showing officers rushing to save the life of a six-year-old boy who fell 20 feet from a rollercoaster at a Florida theme park last week

'It was a complete accident, he double checked,' she said. 'The seat is tiny, there's a little gap and he is a tiny boy.' 

Speaking about the rollercoaster, she said: 'That thing is very jerky. it's a really jerky ride.' 

Multiple 911 calls reported the boy's fall at the time of the incident. 

'You need to come to Fun Spot Orlando. This poor child fell off the f****** rollercoaster,' an employee said on the call.  

'The child fell off the ride. Right now, we have him on the floor. They're screaming. We're trying our best not to move him,' the employee added. 'The child is awake.' 

'Do not move him unless he is in danger,' the dispatcher advised the employee.

'Units arrived to find a 6-year-old with traumatic injuries under the rollercoaster track which was approximately 20 feet above,' Osceola County Fire Rescue and EMS Office said in a statement. 

There has been no official update on the boy's condition, however, a Louisiana woman who identifies as the boy's grandmother told NBC affiliate WVLA-TV that the 6-year-old is recovering at home.

Some witnesses said they saw a gap in the ride seat 

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services will be investigating the incident, according to department spokesperson Aaron Keller.

Fun Spot released a statement claiming a preliminary inspection of Galaxy Spin by state officials 'found it to be in normal operating condition with no mechanical issues.'

The ride is currently closed and will not be reopened until after the investigation, if leadership declare it safe. 

In the statement the park was defiant in vowing to reopen the attraction as soon as possible. 

'Our thoughts and prayers are with the child and their family, and we pray for a speedy recovery,' the park said. 'The safety of our guests is our number one priority.'

The ride moves around 29 miles per hour and features 'spinning cars' that spin as the ride navigates through tight corners, according to the Roller Coaster Database.

The ride can subject riders to a force 2.5 times that of gravity. 

The website says that riders must be at least four feet tall or three and a half feet if accompanied by an adult.

One witness to the tragedy wrote in a Facebook post that he saw the child being encouraged to stand up on the ride by the adult he was with who was recording him on her phone.

Osceola County firefighters responded to the park around 3:30 pm on Thursday. The child was found 20 feet beneath the rollercoaster track.

In its statement, the park maintained that the ride was up to code and recently underwent a safety inspection.

The incident is being investigated by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Commerce. The park said that the ride will remain shuttered until the investigation is completed.

Speaking to Click Orlando, one visitor on Thursday said: 'It's these third-party parks that you see all the accidents happening. I'm hesitant anyway to go on third-party parks.'

'I think it's pretty sad. You go up it and it spins around as it's going through,' witness John Capps said when describing the ride to WESH.

'I have my grand kids right here and if something happened to them, that would be horrible. I would be devastated, especially because a lot of people are here on vacation, so if he's here on vacation and he gets hurt on vacation, that's just horrible,' another witness, Crystal Morse, told the station.

A 2021 survey compiled on behalf of the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions found '0.9 injuries per million rides' across all rollercoasters, said Caitlin Dineen, the group's spokesperson.

That year, more than 1,200 ride-related injuries were reported out of the typical 1.7 billion rides that take place each year across 400 locations in North America.

'Safety is the top priority for the global attractions industry,' Dineen said. 'An excellent safety record is in the best interest of the industry, and leaders within it are committed to providing safe and secure attractions for all their guests and visitors.'

In 2022, Orlando’s International Drive district removed a towering 400-foot ride after it was directly linked to the death of 14-year-old Tyre Sampson — a Missouri teen who fell to his death while on the ride the year prior.

Sampson, who lived near St. Louis, Missouri, was visiting Orlando during spring break when he died.

An initial report from outside engineers hired by the Florida Department of Agriculture said sensors on the ride had been adjusted manually to double the size of the opening for restraints on two seats, resulting in the teen not being properly secured.

Thursday's incident came just days after a mechanical error on board a ride at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, forced riders to walk down the track to safety after the rollercoaster stalled close to the top.
