History[]
Death[]
In "Let Go", Devon notices people screaming of terror rather than joy, which his friend Chad somewhat disagrees with. Devon adds that he doesn't wish to have a fearful experience and mentions another phobia of having pressure on his stomach. Chad claims Devon might be able to conquer two of them in one attempt. Chad stops Devon from quitting, claiming the two women in front of them will humiliate them on Instagram, but Devon isn't fully convinced since it would happen on the ride anyway. Chad coaxes him, as the woman could be popular, and the two friends would subsequently go viral for a nasty reason. They board the ride, though the amusement park staff fail to notice the improperly secured metal bracing. As the vehicle moves, Devon panics and curses Chad, who laughs. However, as it goes through an inverted loop, the bracing fails and Chad falls out, to Devon's horror.
A caller dials 9-1-1 after witnessing the fall, and the 118 respond. Devon screams for help as the vehicle is stuck inverted on the rails, and he is only held by his arms on the braces. Bobby discovers their engine is inconveniently placed, ordering Buck to ascend the ride via their vehicle and secure Devon while he moves it for accessibility. Buck is eager to agree, and he scales immediately. The women on the ride panic, but Buck assures them of a rescue, advising them to stay still. Reaching the structure, Buck also tries to pacify Devon, who demands to learn about them Chad's condition. Buck forwards this to Bobby, who pings Chimney and Hen on the ground. The two find Chad deceased, and Bobby orders to avoid panic by concealing this information. Onlookers gather around as Buck progresses, claiming to Devon that Chad was not killed and is being rescued by the crew. The women panic when Bobby starts driving away, and Buck explains that the vehicle is merely repositioning. Buck lowers down a strap, advising Devon to ignore the crowd and grab it, though Devon expresses negativity, and Chimney becomes nervous as well. Buck reiterates his instructions when Devon is further terrified by embarrassment in front of many strangers, and Buck promises he will have everything else sorted out with once Devon is rescued before lowering his right hand. However, Devon repeats the same response, loses his grip, and dies. This traumatizes Buck as it is his first loss on a call and Devon's sister Liz blames Buck for his death in the aftermath of the incident.
