A day of fun turned into a nightmare when a popular amusement park ride malfunctioned at Green Mountain Park near Taif, Saudi Arabia, leaving at least 23 people injured.
What began as an evening of excitement quickly spiraled into chaos as the thrill ride ‘360 Degrees’ suddenly broke apart mid-motion. Videos shared on social media show the ride swinging high with passengers laughing-until the central pole violently snaps in two, sending the structure crashing down with a deafening thud. Screams of joy turned into cries of panic as riders were flung or struck during the collapse.
Eyewitnesses described a terrifying scene. The ride’s arm reportedly recoiled at high speed, hitting people seated on the opposite side. Some passengers were thrown from their seats, worsening the scale of injuries, which ranged from moderate to severe, according to local media reports.
