A woman was left dangling about 30 feet in the air after falling from a Ferris wheel at a fair in Chhattisgarh’s Bhatapara. The incident, captured on video, has gone viral on social media. Footage shows the woman hanging in mid-air as she tried to pull herself back into the cabin. When the ride approached the deck, she attempted to escape but it began moving upward again, leaving her hanging high above the ground. She managed to grab part of the ride’s structure and held on tightly.
A staff member rushed to her help without safety gear. He reached out to her, guided her toward a cabin below and helped her jump inside. She escaped without injury.
Bystanders recorded the tense rescue, and the video has since gone viral. Social media users praised the staff member for his bravery and quick action.
The incident comes after another ride accident in Nalchik, Russia. A chairlift collapsed at a ski resort and 10 people fell. Four landed in a lake and six hit the ground. More than a dozen were injured and one person is in serious condition. Video showed passengers screaming as they fell, some into trees and others into the 22-foot-deep Lake Trek.
