Tourists were left hanging upside down after a ride malfunctioned at a theme park in eastern China.

Video filmed in the city of Fuyang in Anhui Province on January 19 shows riders being left upside down in the air on a ride called the Frisbee.

According to a staff member of the management company called Anhui Shinite Entertainment Co., LTD, the Frisbee stopped swinging because the weight of riders sitting on the two sides of it was the same.

The Frisbee returned to work as normal after around 10 minutes. No one was injured.

The video was provided by local media with permission.
