The moment the seat belt breaks, Kaysen slides to the floor of the coaster. Moments later, his dad lifts him up and holds on to him tightly with his right arm.

He said a park worker told him it has happened before.

“What makes it worse is when I told the guy at the end of the ride he stated that he knew that had happened sometimes!! Really it’s already happens and you continue to let people ride??!!” wrote Latham.

He said after he alerted the staff, they continued to allow people ride the roller coaster.
