This is the terrifying moment a funfair ride snaps in half, sending riders crashing dozens of feet to the ground.
The horrific video was captured by a witness at Kankaria Amusement Park in the city of Ahmedabad, Gujurat in India.
In the 44 second clip, the theme park's "Discovery" ride is seen swinging back and forth before the arm of the pendulum dismantles and crashes against podium, sending riders plummeting to the ground.
Two people were killed and 27 others were injured.
Police spokesperson Vijay Nehra said: "An inquiry has been ordered. Police, along with a forensic team, reached the spot to find out the reasons behind the accident."
Ahmedabad mayor Bijal Patel said: "29 people were brought to the hospital out of whom two died while 27 are being treated."
Victims were seen covered in blood screaming for help, while others were still trapped in their seats as onlookers desperately tried to free them.
All victims were said to be adults and no children were present.
Speaking about the incident, fire brigade spokesperson Dastoor said: "There are 32 seats in the ride that go round. The pipe of the main shaft broke and crashed on the ground.
"How that pipe broke is a matter of investigation by Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL)."
According to reports, the ride was near maximum capacity at the time of the incident with 31 riders on board at the time of the crash.
Councillor Baddrudin Sheikh of the Indian National Congress political party blamed the governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), saying: "The ruling BJP failed to ensure regular maintenance. A complaint of negligence should be registered against [the] authorities."
Mayor Patel said: "An inquiry will be conducted to ascertain as to what went wrong, and steps against those responsible for the fault will be taken soon."
Authorities are carrying out investigations on the incident.
