A tourist on a swing flung into a steel frame after a rope gave way in eastern China.

Upsetting video filmed in the city of Ningbo in Zhejiang Province on January 26 shows the rope on the swing suddenly giving way and the man on the swing chair crashing into the frame's steel pipe at speed with a terrifying crash on his way down. Later he crashes into the frame again on his way back up.

A woman is heard saying: "Why does the rope look so dangerous? Has the rope broken?"

The man's leg was reportedly broken and he has had surgery but is in a stable condition.

The person in charge of Huoshanfeng Scenic Spot went to visit the injured man and is reportedly in negotiations with the family over what is thought to be a settlement.

1月26日，浙江宁波，象山县火山峰景区高空秋千项目突发故障，致使一名男子腿部骨折。目前景区已暂停该项目，受伤男游客已经完成手术，伤势比较稳定，景区负责人去看望了伤者，正与伤者家属对接后续事宜。
据目击者透露，当时秋千在被拉起到一定高度时，有一根绳索疑似断裂，游客随秋千荡了一个来回后，被一根绳索勾到脚部，随后一疑似鞋子的黑色物体从其脚上飞了出去。
据资料显示，灵岩火山峰景区景区于2021年1月1日开业，景区以展示宣传宁波火山文化为核心。此次发生事故的高空悬崖秋千是景区内的一个项目，秋千座椅被电吸铁拉到悬崖内侧5层楼高的位置后，吸铁松开，秋千外荡。
据悉，该景区由象山县定塘镇主管，事发后当地乡镇已召开紧急会议，要求对设备进行检查检修，加强管理，并增加值班人员。
