The merry-go-round that starts to move makes the first turns upwards, then accelerates more and more until the open security bars suddenly and the the people on board come thrown in the air falling violently to the ground. It’s the terrifying images that come from a thailand amusement park where four children and a woman were injured after the ride’s safety bars suddenly opened.

Initially everything seems to be going in the right direction, then suddenly, when the carousel called “crazy wave” increases the oscillations, the central group of people who were on board are thrown off.

The people involved are four minors, all aged between 10 and 15, and one in his thirties who allegedly suffered lacerated wounds, but also fractured pelvis and limbs. The first to rescue them were the same people present, as seen in the final part of the video, then they were transported to the hospital and treated as needed.
