This is the moment a boy screamed a stream of cuss words while being launched into the air on a slingshot ride - leaving his dad in stitches.

Joseph Icenhour, six, had never been on the ride before and was too nervous to try it at first.

But after watching his brother and cousin go up, he changed his mind and climbed in with his dad Mark Icenhour, 35.

The pair were strapped into the Slingshot at Panama City Beach, Florida, and within seconds of launching, Joseph let loose a hilarious, foul-mouthed meltdown mid-air.

Footage, captured by an onboard camera and later given to the family, shows the chaos unfold with Mark cracking up as Joseph rages beside him.

Mum Chelsea Icenhour, from Georgia, said: "Joseph was nervous and backed out at first."

"Mark was trying to calm him down, but Joseph just started cussing and he couldn't stop laughing."

"He was done for the night but watched the video laughing at himself a few times. "

"It was a valid response for that ride!"
