A fairground ride which broke mid-air sent a young woman plunging to the ground before she was caught by a man below.
At an Easter fair in Ometepec,Mexico,where the ‘The Hammer’ ride was set up,videos caught the attraction rotating above the ground despite signs that something had gone wrong.
Footage showed the ride swinging at speed before a loud metallic jolt prompted several people nearby to run towards it.
A piece of metal was seen lying on the ground beneath the ride,while several onlookers gathered,pointing upwards,when the young woman slipped from the moving ride and dropped to the ground.
Luckily,she was caught mid-fall by a man standing beneath her,who helped steady her and get her away from the still-spinning ride.
