Reports have surfaced on social media about a "360-degree" amusement ride collapsing due to a broken support structure in one of Saudi Arabia’s theme parks.
According to available information, the incident occurred in the city of Taif. A group of girls was riding on a pendulum-style attraction that swings back and forth. Video footage from the scene shows the ride ascending to a height and beginning its downward motion before suddenly crashing to the ground. A total of 23 people were reportedly injured.
The Committee for Industrial, Radiation, and Nuclear Safety urges citizens: if you encounter any technically faulty or suspicious amusement rides in parks, cultural or entertainment venues across Uzbekistan, please report them via the "attraksion_nazorati" mobile platform or by calling the Committee’s hotline: 71 203-02-39.
