This is the hilarious moment a tourist experienced a bumpy ride on the back of an ostrich.

The woman had a comical mishap when she rode the flightless bird in Heilongjiang, China, on November 11.

Footage shows the flightless bird sprinting at speed, causing the rider to bounce up and down. A keeper quickly chased after the bird in an effort to regain control.

The animal eventually veered into a grassy field, where the woman tumbled to the ground.

The incident prompted laughter from both the woman and the man recording the scene.

The filmer said: 'She did not sustain any serious injuries from the fall. In fact, she still enjoyed it.'

Ostriches are the fastest-running birds in the world, capable of maintaining speeds of 30–37 mph and sprinting up to 43 mph.
