Guy who died:
His girlfriend (also injured but survived)
The Kid Who Recorded It:
'It started normal, everything started normal, and then it started shaking. It was shaking real bad,' Devray Williams told ABC 6 on Wednesday.
She said that the girl next to her also started to say her seat was shaking just moments before Devray watched the woman go flying off into the air when the machine snapped.
An emotional Devray then said through tears: 'And then the dude hit the ground. He wasn't breathing. None of them was, it was like five people. Nobody was breathing and then they came and tried to give him CPR but nothing was happening.'

The young man who lost his life at the Ohio State Fair on Wednesday night had just enlisted in the Marines lat week.
Tyler Jarrell, 18, of Columbus, Ohio has been identified by the State Highway Patrol as the young man who was killed while riding The Fireball.
He was thrown into the air when part of the amusement ride snapped and came down with such force that he was killed upon impact.
The tragedy occurred just five days after Tyler posted a photo to his Facebook page which showed him in a Marines Uniform and holding a plaque that read 'United States Navy' and 'Department of the Marine Core.'
His decision to enlist meanwhile came a little over a month after he graduated from Franklin Heights High School in Columbus.

I'll stick to the Six Flags, Dorney Park & Hershey Park
-
I don't do the rides. Ride should have been thoroughly inspected before day one. I only do carnivals and fairs for the food.
-
Sad...I saw that same ride at a carnival here last month...I said it looked too extreme for a carnival.

Final Destination VI: The Last Ride......
Because I know not a soul on that ? is gettin' on ? else ever in life! Heart goes out to the families involved. ? gotta be traumatic as ? ! -
I cant believe they opended that fair up next morning business as usual, ? THAT
-
The only carnival I ? with

Once I was grown I told myself ? carnival/amusement park rides.
? I look like voluntarily scaring my self for no reason. If I wanna scare myself, I'll go open up all my monthly bills at once. -
Those carnys are always ? /high/hungover and don't give 2 ? about safety. I read somewhere that the rides almost never pass inspection but aren't inspected enough to get them taken down before stuff like this happens. Won't see me on one of these ever again.

She gonna get a gold fish & 2 stuffed animals -
They shut down all the fair rides and that ? still ain't back open. I never ? with the fair rides because it always looked like they let geeks run em. They said lil homie that passed away got thrown up in the air 50 ft. ? down here talkin bout boycott it, I bet the ? I don't. I need that food in my life. I been here my whole life and ain't nobody I heard of ever had nothin like that happen before, literally a one and million chance. It's cold, but logic says it'll be a while before somethin like that happens again. I still ain't ridin no rides tho.

Check out the documentary on the theme park nicknamed 'class action' theme park due to how dangerous it was.
