Amusement park ride in Saudi Arabia snaps mid-air injuring 23

ABC7 video / Aug. 1, 2025 / Shocking video shows the moment an amusement park ride in Saudi Arabia collapsed, injuring more than 20 people. The incident occurred in the Al-Hada area of the city of Taif on Wednesday, when the "360 Big Pendulum" ride snapped in two, causing the part carrying people to crash to the ground. Video footage posted on social media showed the pendulum swinging riders, who were strapped into their seats, in a wide arc several times before the pendulum arm snapped, sending the passenger section crashing to the ground.
