Shocking moment theme park ride PLUMMETS to the ground leaving 11 people injured in India
THIS is the shocking moment a spinning theme park ride plummets to the ground leaving 11 people seriously injured.
Dramatic footage shows the colourful swing crashing to the ground at high speed in front of horrified onlookers.
A total of 25 people including children were on the ride when it collapsed.
The horror accident happened in the Ajmer district of northern India’s Rajasthan region.
Footage shows the ride operating normally – rotating with people high in the air – before plunging at high speed to the ground as people can be heard screaming.
Police say the crash happened after a cable broke, detaching the spinning platform from the central column, and sending it hurtling to the ground.
Victims of the crash are being treated for their injuries at a nearby hospital.
Back in November a 13-year-old boy was left seriously injured after he was flung from a spinning fairground carousel in the Philippines.
Last year a girl was thrown to her death after a safety lock at a fairground ride broke.
And another shocking video shows the moment a fairground ride crashed to the ground leaving 50 people injured in Mohali, India.
