Bodycam footage reveals the chaos as first responders swarm the "Stardust Racers" ride at Epic Universe after 32-year-old Kevin Rodriguez Zavala was gravely injured on the roller coaster. While the Orange County Sheriff's Office concluded the death was an accident, Kevin's family criticized the park for its safety procedures and quick reopening of the ride. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber dig into the emergency response, the investigations, and the park's decision to update guidelines for guests using mobility devices on the Stardust Racers.

Someone with spinal issues should not be getting on a ride like that

He shouldn't have been on the ride. He had a spinal issue to begin with and didn't have the strength to withstand that ride.

Looks like its more of a "he shouldn't have been on that ride to begin with" to me.

How is a paraplegic allowed to go on a ride like that in the first place, clearly a disabled body cannot deal with the forces the same way an able body can!

Is the minimum wage amusement park employee supposed to start asking people what type of disability they have?

That attorney is so unauthentically performative and disgraceful. So gross. Someone with such intense spinal issues SHOULD NOT BE ON THIS RIDE. There comes a point where you, as an adult, have to be responsible for your own actions and choices. YOU know what YOUR condition is. These ride employees aren’t spine specialists.

The investigation shows no liability. He should have never been on that ride.

I’m really sorry for what happened to him. That is horrific. But my question is: Why? Why? Someone with that kind of physical condition should NEVER go on rides like that. It’s common sense.

I'm so sorry that he passed, but a man with disabilities like he had should never have been on a ride like that.
