A boy, 13, was injured at a theme park after he was thrown out of his seat while riding a 360° swing.
The teen, with the initials RDP,went on the ride at the Jawa Timur Park 1 in Batla, Indonesia, with three friends earlier this month.
Yet as the Frisbee began to twirl through the air, RDP’s safety harness unbuckled, leaving him clinging to his chair.
The ride swung as it completed a 360° turn and slowed down at the top, with the teen dangling some two metres off the ground.
Onlookers and ride-goers then screamed as they watched the teenager fall, footage showed.
The 360 Pendulum was immediately halted at about 4pm on April 8.

RDP suffered two fractures to his right hand and one to his right leg.
The boy attended Madrasah Tsanawiyah secondary school in Malang and dreams of becoming a pilot.
‘Our child has a dream that has been prepared carefully since childhood, his dream is to be an Air Force (AU) pilot,’ his mother, Ardika Novita, told the press on Friday.
RDP’s father, Wasis Ridho Atmadei, said his son has long been inspired by his nephew, who pilots a Sukhoi jet at the Iswahjudi air force base.
‘When he was still a cadet wearing a uniform, he looked dashing,’ he said, ‘finally my child was motivated.’
But RDP’s family worries that the boy may never realise his dreams if his injury – which has left him in a cast – impacts his chances of getting into a top boarding school.
Police said that park operators had conducted all safety checks before the ride started, and they worked correctly.
The seat belt suddenly unfastened due to a malfunction, the police found.
