A total of 25 people, including children, were on the ride when it collapsed.

The horrific accident happened in the Ajmer district of northern India’s Rajasthan region.

Footage shows the ride operating normally – spinning with people high in the air – before crashing to the ground at high speed while people can be heard screaming.

Police say the crash happened after a cable snapped, causing the revolving platform to detach from the central column and cause it to crash to the ground.

Victims of the accident are being treated for their injuries at a nearby hospital.

In November, a 13-year-old boy was seriously injured after he was flung from a spinning carnival carousel in the Philippines.

Last year a girl was thrown to her death after a safety lock on a fairground ride broke.
