I think this is an almost exact copy of the ride. You can see how vulnerable the feet of the riders are if a cable were to snap.
OMG! How horrible!
I rode that ride two weeks ago with my little cousin. I’m not sure how that could have happened, unless somehow a stray wire came loose.
A longer version. The witnesses are speaking English, but I can’t understand most of what they’re saying.

I'm guessing they built that ride two feet at a time.
Treva Smith said it snapped again as the ride descended.“The people on the ride just came and hit the ground,” Smith said.
“As the ride came down, the wire swung left, struck the young lady on the back side of my children,” Williams said.
“When I got up there, the lady, she was just sitting there and she didn’t have no legs,” Smith said. “She didn’t have no legs at all. She was just calm, probably in shock from everything.”
“My son’s over there tripping out man,” Williams said. “You want to come to a park and feel safe you know. We’ve got season passes. We’re not coming back for sure.”
“Every park, one in a million maybe something happens,” park visitor Kenneth Lay said. “But I have no fear.”
Target-rich environment.
There’s something suspicious afoot here.
were they reattached?
