Perhaps you're right that we're becoming a soft people when someone can't survive a 5 G acceleration on a one minute 22 second ride.

Or maybe the 7 minute 3 second time lapse from the time the boy's Dad began CPR until the time paramedics began using the defibrillator indicates the weakness. /s

Don't know where these folks are from but on thing many people from up north forget is that its hot in Florida. Sounds trite but the combination of heat, humidity, and sun can get a lot of people off guard. The parks are especially hard because of the crowds and other factors they bring in.
