At least 20 people, including children, were injured after a fairground attraction collapsed in Italy, officials say.
Families attending a festival in Palma Campania, near Naples, had packed themselves on their rocking chairs when the accident happened on Sunday afternoon, July 10.
Footage shows the base of the ride starting to vibrate violently shortly after reaching full speed.
Bystanders can be heard screaming as it then begins to break free from its safety restraints and fall on its side.
Parents were then rushed to check on their children.
According to local media, a 12-year-old was in hospital on Wednesday, July 13.
Detectives are investigating a person in charge of the fair on suspicion of causing injury through negligence by structurally failing the attraction.
The show operator had previously told local reporters it was a “miracle that no one was killed”.
The attraction collapsed hours before the fair was due to end, the city’s mayor said.
