Faulty ferris wheel sends family falling down

For me, I’m always a little wary when I go on any ride at a theme park. I’m not the greatest on rollercoasters anyway, but there’s something about any ride that just makes me wonder if it’s completely safe.

Last year I went on that massive ferris wheel at the Cape Town Waterfront, and for the entire 30 minutes, I kept waiting for it to fly off its axel, and for all of us to go rolling into the harbour. I know, it's a little dramatic, but it did go through my mind.

And then I saw this. A terrifying video of a ferris wheel malfunctioning in Yogyakarta, Indonesia which saw a family falling out of one of the gondolas. Brave workers climbed up the massive ride to rescue the family members one by one.

Thankfully, no major injuries were reported - according to New York Post, but let's just say this has changed how I feel about ferris wheels.
