Horrifying video shows the moment an amusement park ride snaps in two, sending riders crashing to the ground … leaving dozens licking their wounds.
Footage out of Saudi Arabia captures the whole incident involving a carnival ride called 360 Degrees … riders are strapped in chairs on the revolving ride, and they swing up and down — until chaos hits.
The ride’s central pole breaks in half like a twig — gravity takes over and the revolving platform comes hurtling down … and the impact sends debris and broken ride parts flying through the air.
Horrified riders and onlookers scream out … and the folks on the ride squirm in their seats as they process what just happened.
At least 23 people were injured … and this all went down Thursday at Green Mountain Park in Taif, Saudi Arabia.
The incident is under investigation.
