Five-year-old boy dangles by neck 130 ft above ground after slipping out of Ferris wheel cabin window
A five-year-old boy attempted to sit on the metal bars which secure the window of the Ferris wheel cabin before he slipped out and was dangling by his neck before being rescued
A 5-year-old boy was seen hanging by his neck from a 130ft Ferris wheel after he was allowed on the ride without an adult. It is believed that the boy attempted to sit on the metal bars which secure the open window of the Ferris wheel cabin and then slipped out.
By some miracle, the child was caught by his neck and avoided diving to his death from around 130 feet. The terrifying incident took place on September 24 when the child and his mother visited the Yuhuan Park amusement park. Instead of purchasing a ticket 30 RMB (£3.35) the mother allowed her young son to ride alone after the child kept begging her to do so. The staff members also allowed the child to ride alone and did not intervene.
