Looking at the picture it seems the harness did not lock down on him enough. His size prevented it from lowering into the proper position.
Worth nothing, the kid was repeatedly told he was too large to use the rides. But still went looking for rides he could get on without rejection.
Where did you see that? I'd still say the onus is on the park. However it is kind of bullshit since I'm sure it is a lot of kids or young people operating those rides. They don't want to get into a chimp out with this guy. That is a bad situation to put the workers in. The kid should have been kicked out of the park if he was trying to sneak on rides he wasn't physically able to ride safely.
I'm sure there will be a full report released at some point.

It was in the first several news reports posted here. One in which the father was interviewed.

Ya, I know sometimes those shoulder locks can only go down. You become trapped unless released by staff. Wasn't sure if this was a factor. If so, it squarely shifts the majority of blame to the park as they have an obligation to ensure everyone is "safely trapped" and secure.
On the other hand, if it could not safely secure him and he ignored it a d he could have left the ride, and he already knew his size excluded him from safely riding, that significantly shifts things back at him and not the park.
