UP Video: Jolt In Ferris Wheel Turns Scary! Girl Screams Dangling From 60-Ft-High Ride In Lakhimpur Kheri

In a chilling incident reported from Uttar Pradesh, a teenager who visited a fair in her village to enjoy and have fun witnessed a scary incident. The joyride received a jolt while she was on the Ferris wheel at a fair in the Rakehti village in the Nighasan area of Lakhimpur Kheri. This turned her joyride into something quite concerning. It left her screaming and dangling from the 60-feet-high ride.

Due to the sudden unexpected jolt in the ride, a 13-year-old girl lost her balance and fell off the gondola in which she was seated. She slipped out of the safe basket-like gondola of the wheel, leaving her dangling at the rods of the ride and loudly scream out for help.

Girl rescued, safe now

The incident from the village fair of the Kheri district has surfaced online. It shows the girl hanging on to an iron rod of the tall structure. It recorded the tension spread among visitors after they spotted the girl slipping and dangling on the rod.

She was soon rescued when the wheel was rotated back to the original position and brought to rest. Sub District Magistrate Rajiv Nigam told the media that the girl is safe.

Giant wheel didn't have permission to operate

It was reported that the operators did not have the permission to run the giant wheel at the fair. Noting this aspect and the incident that took place involving the teen, an investigation is set to take place to figure out how the swing was made functional despite not having proper permission to do so.

The incident took place nearly 160 km away from UP's Kannauj region, where a similar incident was reported earlier this year. This November, another teen experienced a tragic ride during her visit to a local fair. A 14-year-old girl's hair got entangled in the rods of the Ferris wheel, which ripped off her scalp and left her with severe injuries.
