Florida Man Killed on Roller Coaster

This episode details a tragic incident at Florida's Epic Universe where Kevin Rodriguez Zavala, a guest with a spinal disability, died following a ride on the Stardust Racers roller coaster. During the high-speed attraction, Zavala repeatedly struck his head against the ride vehicle, resulting in fatal blunt force injuries. While official investigations by the medical examiner and state authorities classified the death as an accident involving no mechanical malfunctions, the victim's family and attorney Ben Crump questioned the adequacy of safety procedures for guests with mobility impairments. In response to the tragedy, the park implemented new safety guidelines requiring guests on that specific ride to be able to walk independently. The legal dispute eventually concluded with a confidential settlement between the family and the theme park.
